George Bowering has been an inimitable, witty, eclectic and electrifying voice in Canadian letters for decades. He has published more than 40 books in a variety of genres and has won the Governor General's Award twice. But it is his poetry-thoughtful, precise, lyrical, irreverent, flaunting convention and blending styles and genres-that is the touchstone of Bowering's work. Changing on the Fly collects the best of Bowering's poetry in one fascinating, revelatory and immensely readable volume."Writing a poem is like paring an apple. If you can do it in one continuous motion, it will be very satisfactory." -George Bowering
