A play of resonance between pronouns and persons, freely percussive between prose and poetry, and narrating a constellation of questions, White Piano offers readers a ‘language that cultivates its own craters of fire and savoir-vie.’ ‘Brossard conflates writing with lovemaking – “at the hour of bedsheets or ink” – the poems forming a grammar of desire, like a diagrammed body . . .
