• W2931815572 abstract "the Earth Mother (214) and “Virgin, Mother, Queen, Goddess” (217), he in­ cludes no allusion to the reference to John Donne’s familiar lines from “Elegie XVIII: Loves Progress” : “Rich Nature hath in women wisely made / Two purses, and their mouths aversely laid” (Donne 119); nor does he question the relevance of any such reference. All carping aside, this is a beautifully written book, well designed, with notes at the foot of the page where they may most readily be consulted. It has been carefully edited and proofread. Like Consumer Reports reviewing a Lexus, I have detected only a missing in and the, and one redundant twoword phrase. A one-paragraph factual biographical note and a chronological list of Kinsella’s more significant publications at the front of the volume might assist many of the readers for whom this study will be most rewarding. Brian John has convincingly demonstrated that Kinsella, after starting out trying to escape the double shadow of Yeats and modern English poetic influence, has succeeded in fusing his Irish and English tongues into his own voice and has achieved “what he sought from the beginning: a poetry that can say and do anything, that responds in abundant, consummate, and convincing ways to modern experience. That in itself ... [John concludes] is a major achievement and has made him an essential voice of our time” (259). WORKS CITED Bacon, Francis. “Of Studies.” Seventeenth-Century Prose and Poetry. Ed.

Wa l t e r e . s w a y z e / University of Winnipeg Eva-Marie Kroller, George Bowering: Bright Circles of Colour (Vancouver: Talonbooks, 1992). 142. $14.95 paper. Eva-Marie Kroller’s enigmatically entitled George Bowering: Bright Circles of Colour, the first full-length study of Bowering’s work and another in Talonbooks’s new Canadian criticism series, offers a curious mix of signif­ icant Canadian literary history and a surprisingly idiosyncratic and finally contradictory argument about Bowering’s texts. The book is presented as “an exploration of selected works by Bower­ ing and their interdependencies with the visual arts, the collage foremost 216 among them” (11). Kroller’s thinking on collage relies entirely on a 1983 essay by Donald B. Kuspit,1 who argues that collage is “an experiment in ordering reality” that has provided “rich evidence of its ability to decon­ struct hegemonies, definition, and unities” (11). But are hegemonies being deconstructed in Bowering’s work or in Kroller’s reading of it? The last line of her interpretation of the collages in The Man in Yellow Boots reveals what I suspect is Kroller’s own uneasiness with the very argu­ ment she is making: The collages conclude with an allusion to the Mexican context of the volume, an image quite different from the preceding ones in composition, tonality, and subject-matter: like an inverted exclamation mark, a cat is perched atop a tall cactus, fenced in by an equally tall grey mass on either side. She has little space to manoeuvre, but she persists. (39) Like the cat perched atop a cactus “like an inverted exclamation mark” (but more like an “i” ), Kroller has very little space to manoeuvre in Bowering’s work. But since she persists, I will too. I emphasize this passage primarily because of the word “she,” which leapt out at me simply because the feminine pronoun so rarely appears in this book. Even here, “she” does not refer to a person; “she” is a cat, not a reader. More often, “the reader is forced into the shoes of a person he [sic] does not know” (38). This reader at least has difficulty with Kroller’s claim that, like the work of contemporary Canadian artists Roy Kiyooka, Greg Curnoe, and Brian Fisher, George Bowering’s texts “posit a universe where man [sic] has relinquished his Cartesian position of privilege and control..." @default.
