'<p><b>A best-of collection from one of Canada s most ambitious poets</b></p> <p><i>Problematica </i> a scientific term used to describe species that defy classification. See <i>unidentifiable.</i></p> <p>George Murray is a strange beast. Lauded as one of Canada s leading poets, his work has been published around the world, but here at home, he has never really fit in with his contemporaries. By turns archly formal and thoughtful, insouciant and hilarious, each of his six books seems intent on staking out its own identity, standing alone in stark contrast to all others.</p> <p>Yet, in this judicious selection of new and selected poems spanning Murray s 25-year career, we see threads and patterns emerge like fractals. From early narrative poems to lyrical explorations of the metaphysical to investigations of the colloquial and contemporary, Murray s work roams a landscape that includes everything from happiness to regret, love to loss, doubt to faith, anxiety to acceptance.</p>
