Poets in Profile: Anne Simpson

Open Book is celebrating National Poetry Month with daily profiles of today's "unacknowledged legislators of the world." Find out what inspires, confounds and delights the poets behind this spring's new releases by following our series.

The wait for the new work by award-winning poet Anne Simpson — whose resonant lyric voice is never afraid to experiment — is over. With the simply titled Is (McClelland & Stewart), Anne Simpson turns to the cell for inspiration: a world within a world within a world. As with previous collections, she "turns our attention to the sharp edges of life," (Canadian Literature) with poems that spin and unravel like the double helix of our DNA.
