About this product

Product Information

In these peculiar times, we are thrust back into ourselves in a kind of suspension: one in which only private life exists yet threatens to become trivial through a sense of mutual, overarching dread. Lent from award-winning writer Kate Cayley is built from this tension, exploring domestic and artistic life amidst the environmental crisis and the surprising ways that every philosophical quandary--large and small--converges in the home, in small objects, conversations, and moments. The grotesque and the tedious, the baroque and the banal, intertwine in the first three sections. Meticulous depictions of spectacle run into the repetition of daily domestic life: trying to explain time to children, day trips to the planetarium, and the warnings of strangers; these are interspersed with depictions such as Mary Shelley recalling the monster, the inner life of a seventeenth century portrait sitter, and Ted Hughes's second wife telling her story to the dead Sylvia Plath. The title section explores religious faith; how belief is itself a repetition, a slow accumulation over time, just like love or forgiveness. Lent is an exquisite work of our era, asking us to contemplate what it means to live in a broken world--and why we still find it beautiful.

Reviews
"Eventually, most of the things one loves fill one with worry, and, paradoxically, the more deeply one loves, the more quickly one is filled. Poetry fills me with worry--because, thankfully, it is always changing. But Kate Cayley's Lent , though it is filled with love and worry, doesn't worry me at all--not because it isn't new; it's as new as tomorrow--but because it is so well made. These are poems that are completed by their encounters with difficult things--they do not take note of, they live with. And they read the way the best poems do, like parts of one returned to one. I love this book; it does not worry me." -- Shane McCrae, author of Cain Named the Animal, "Gorgeous and startling, the poems in Kate Cayley's Lent emerge as a testament to poetry itself. Lent is a wonder." -- Steven Price, Scotiabank Giller Prize-shortlisted author of Lampedusa, "I didn't think I'd forgotten how close poetry can get to us--inside our eyes, below our thoughts--but reading Kate Cayley's poems, I feel newly awed at their sure and profound nearness." -- Sadiqa de Meijer, Governor General's Literary Award winning author of alfabet / alphabet
