The Other Side of Ourselves
By Rob Taylor
Subjects: Canadian poetry
Description: *The Other Side of Ourselves*, Rob Taylor’s award-winning debut collection of poems, explores the real and imagined worlds of our everyday lives. These poems are united in their consideration of what it means to be human, to shape lives for ourselves and attempt to live them well. Taylor inhabits his moment, brings it to life on the page with a remarkable economy of words, and finds the enigma at its heart. Mysterious without denying clear images, plain spoken without being plain, his poems promote a middle path where complexity does not trump simple pleasure, and pleasure gives way willingly to moments of reflection and insight.
