The Reaching Hand That All My Poems Are

by Jason Holt

First published 2024

Jason Holt presents his eleventh poetry collection with 100 original works that advance his experimental approach. The Acadia University professor builds on his established methods of rhythmic wordplay and syntactic shifts while exploring new territory through equivocal repetition and reimagined elements from his previous collections. This marks Holt's sixth collaboration with Anaphora Literary Press and represents the latest development in his poetic practice. Writing from Wolfville, Nova Scotia, where he lives with his wife Megan and three cats, Holt brings his academic background in philosophy and aesthetics to bear on these new compositions. His dual expertise as both a published philosopher and experimental poet creates a distinctive voice that challenges conventional forms while maintaining accessibility for readers seeking innovative contemporary poetry.
