Reissued for the first time in a handsome A List edition, the Governor General's Literary Award-winning collection from one of Canada's most profoundly inventive and eminent poets, featuring an introduction by award-winning poet Sonnet L'Abbe.

The poetry in the Governor General's Award-winning collection Furious is charged with Erin Moure's characteristic energy and wit as she explores the limits of pure reason and the language of power. There is, too, a fresh and often celebratory look at love, and, in an unusual finale, "The Acts," Moure challenges us to explore a feminist aesthetic: of thinking, of the page, of working life and the possibility of poetry.
