Peter Jaeger, a Canadian poet residing in the UK, offers a concise yet profound exploration of themes in "Family Time." Despite its brief length of just 30 pages, the work is described as rich and impactful, showcasing Jaeger's expertise as a poet and his role as a Professor of Poetics at Roehampton University. The book promises to deliver a meaningful experience through its compact form.
Peter Jaeger's beautiful new work was written while travelling in Japan, India, Canada, Italy and England, but these intense lyrics are more than travel poems, they explore body awareness and consciousness within language itself - an interplay that becomes more evident through Jaeger's unfamiliar surroundings and his exploration of meditation and yoga.
The book delves into the literary contributions of Steve McCaffery and bpNichol, emphasizing their collaborative efforts within the Toronto Research Group (TRG). It explores their innovative approaches to writing and the impact of their partnership on contemporary literature, highlighting themes of experimentalism and the interplay of language and form in their works. Through an analysis of their writings, the book sheds light on the significance of the TRG in shaping modern literary discourse.
