Book DescriptionYou?ve heard of The Big Sleep, right? Well, it?s sixty years later and time for The Ubiquitous Big. This book, the second from Calgary poet Ian Samuels, imagines life in the age of hyper-modernity as a play with a splintered script and countless actors, its narratives unfolding against a backdrop of cultural obsessions with iconic celebrity, physical beauty, war and conquest. Built around helter-skelter transformations of found text, film noir dialogue and overheard conversation, this is our world seen from atop a narrow ledge between horrified fascination and sardonic humour. The result is a book of playful poetry with a serious trigger finger.
