'The fifteen women featured in this volume are some of the best writers currently engaged in avant-garde literary production, defining the contours of new movements and schools of writing. By
showcasing their work alongside extensive interviews, Prismatic Publics stages intimate encounters with these key figures as they work in and against feminist, Language, conceptual,
investigative and other poetic traditions - often across, between and at the interstices of genres.' 'Gathered in a single volume, these selections - some dating back to the early 1970s and
others appearing in print for the first time - provide an opportunity to trace the diverse networks, influences, dialogues, dialectics and interventions that continue to make Canada's
innovative womenwriters a powerful force in avant-garde writing around the world.'--BOOK JACKET.
