<p><b>An immense achievement, comprising a decades-long career - new and collected poetry from one of Canada''s most honoured and significant poets</b><br><br>Spanning almost four decades, Dionne Brand''s poetry has given rise to whole new grammars and vocabularies. With a profound alertness that is attuned to this world and open to some other, possibly future, time and place, Brand''s ongoing labours of witness and imagination speak directly to where and how we live and reach beyond those worlds, their enclosures, and their violences.<br><br><i>Nomenclature: New and Collected Poems </i>begins with a new long poem, the titular "Nomenclature for the Time Being," in which Dionne Brand''s diaspora consciousness dismantles our quotidian disasters.
