total

"John is brilliant at communicating. She's also really funny. Poems don't get more direct and precise and unforgettable than this." —National Post

total is a work of contemporary mysticism, a lunar erotics of rage and grief. Here the glory of the quotidian is balm, study, and companion for the poet’s pilgrimage across deserts of loss and absence. total is prayerfulness as claws out, eyes wet, throat open, eyes turned up and in.
