Product Description
Product Description
Jan Zwicky is one of Canada's most innovative intellectual figures. As a poet, philosophy teacher, and violinist, Zwicky strives to give voice to the ecology of experience. Whether reflecting on music, history, poetry, or the nature of thought itself, her work opens the reader to nothing less than the possibility of a different way of being. Despite receiving critical and academic praise culminating in nominations for two separate categories of the Governor General's Literary Award, both in one year, Zwicky's work remains mostly unknown; Lyric Ecology seeks to change this. This collection of twenty-five meditations from various contributors comprises the first formal consideration of Zwicky's philosophy. It includes essays, poems, letters, reviews, and songs, all giving readers insight into her work, what it has achieved, and what makes it significant today.

Great essays on an important Canadian philosopher.,

This review is from: Lyric Ecology: Essays in Honour of Jan Zwicky (Hardcover)
This book may be worth it just for the reprint of the conversation between Zwicky and Tim Lilburn, titled "Contemplation and Resistance", which is otherwise hard to find. I especially appreciated Dennis Lee's essay, however, concerning the substance and potential of Zwicky's stylistic innovation for philosophical writing, as well as Carolyn Richardson's essay on the problem with analytic theories of metaphor, which is short and right on target. Overall an interesting, thought-provoking volume on a philosopher who has yet to be fully and widely appreciated.
