Pulse by Rajinderpal S. Pal
By Rajinderpal S. PalRajinderpal S. Pal’s first, acclaimed collection, pappaji wrote poetry in a language i cannot read, was an exploration, a search not only for a place in the world, but for a sense of one’s self.
Pulse is a collection of love poems, about the sharing of stories and the sharing of that discovered self. Pal writes about those moments in our lives that we first cling to, then draw from as “we strive for fabric and texture” in our lives. With echoes of Michael Ondaatje, Pal’s magical, ringing voice sings intimate. These are sensual poems, explorations of “the pulse in fingertips,” and Pulse, the book, is a mature, sophisticated collection of poetry from one of Canada’s truest writers.
From Pulse:
to begin to describe
every ridge of vertebra
the soft hair that lined them
shadow of window-blinds imposed on her body the strain and the arch the restrain the push the skin and teeth how we would braid and unbraid
About Pulse:
“The excellence in this book is how it deftly operates between the personal and the national, between how people live their day-to-day lives in the systems in which they live them.”—Calgary Herald
“Pal’s strengths come from the undercurrents going through the work, the tensions just under the surface. He writes smooth and evocative poems with the illusion of calm and the deceptive ease of one who knows very well what he is doing.”—The Globe & Mail
Rajinderpal S. Pal won the Henry Kreisel Award for pappaji wrote poetry in a language i cannot read and Pulse was shortlisted for both the Stephan G. Stephansson Award for Poetry and the W.O.
