"Through eclectic verse, this collection raises images of the wanderings of marvelous animals and the sometimes-questionable activities of human beings....Casey and Cannizzo render ancient times and present moments in their Bog Treasure, taking the reader on a thoughtful journey into and out of the bog."—The British Columbia Review
Description
In Bog Treasure, poet and prose writer Eileen Casey collaborated with visual artist and poet Jeanne Cannizzo to produce a stunning collection. Drawn from an art exhibition in 2021 that featured drawings and sculptures by Cannizzo, and poetry by Casey, together with a short film, Bog Treasure showcases Casey and Cannizzo’s distinctive poems, exploring cross-cultural encounters, the complexities of the relationship of the past and the present, and the intersection of art and anthropology.
