In 2010, she expanded the work into a full-length book,\u003c\/span\u003e R's Boat \u003cspan\u003e. During the pandemic, she was drawn back into decades of journals to shape\u003c\/span\u003e Boat \u003cspan\u003e.

The poet explores the mysterious oddness of the body, its languor and persistence, to test how it shapes the materiality of thinking, which includes rivers and forests. But in these poems' landscapes, the time of nature is inherently political. Now only time is wild, and only time – embodied here in Lisa Robertson's forceful cadences – can tell.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boekhandel Perdu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43676250472662,"sku":"","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/2782\/9974\/products\/9781552453308_cover1_rb_modalcover.jpg?v=1666457104"},{"product_id":"cinema-of-the-present","title":"Cinema of the Present","description":"\u003cp\u003e Lisa Robertson\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eWhat if the cinema of the present were a Möbius strip of language, a montage of statements and questions sutured together and gradually accumulating colour?
