WSW (West South West) by Erin Mouré

Finalist for The QSPELL Prize for Poetry in 1990

230

In WSW, Erin Mouré�’s ” west” is not simply an outer landscape framing people’s lives; it is an inner landscape that inhabits the body and codes it. In poems that move inside this West South West of the body, Mour� explores further the source and structure of voice, memory and desire that give the body its identity. WSW takes the public, feminist voice of Furious and brings it closer to a personal world: to grief, love, forgiveness, and the possibility of consolation and responsibility in language itself.
