"A blewointment book". Includes bibliographical references.
Summary:
"Composed over a period of profound illness, Visual Inspection is a searching reflection on poetry, power, and our embodied lives. Shaped by matching elements of literary history, poetic practice, contemporary art, politics, and ecology with Rader's own experience of chronic illness and pain, Visual Inspection writes into and through what is accessible to our minds and bodies. Part memoir, part essay, part poetic investigation, the text guides us through kaleidoscopic meditations on disability, access, vision, redaction, pain, illness, and death. Set primarily in the central Okanagan, Visual Inspection is a codex of references, artifacts and associations that, taken as whole, revisions access as process and art as experience."-- Provided by publisher.
