Poet Lisa Robertson

I couldn't find any shorter videos on Lisa Robertson, they all were around an hour or just very long written interviews. But I looked on the BookThug Publishing page about her book of poetry, the Apothecary, and discovered that the poems in this book were the poet "remaking the sentence." So I went back over the book and sure enough, each poem or stanza is an entire sentence. This is something I hadn't noticed in my first reading because I think it is something that Lisa Robertson has done well, she has made incredibly long, full sentences, yet they aren't laboured and do have a nice flow to them.

If you are interested in Lisa Robertson and want to either commit to watching a longer video, or reading an interview here are some links:

(These are the few things about the actual POET that I could find, there is another Lisa Robertson who does those insipid morning show interviews.)
