What might it feel like for a poem to keep company? \u003ci\u003eA Different Species of Breathing: The Poetry of Sue Goyette \u003c\/i\u003eoffers an introduction to the work of a poet whose writing attends to these large and connected questions.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGoyette's poetry experiments with (and pushes at the edges of) lyric poetry to explore webs of connection. Whether considering the ways in which systems of care fail children, the devastating reach of Big Pharma, the reciprocal relationship between oceans and humans, or the possibilities that rest in rewriting one's own story, Goyette's poetry is rooted in the work of witnessing and being in company with others. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Different Species of Breathing\u003c\/i\u003e opens with an introduction by scholar, editor, and poet Bart Vautour, which offers readers context for Goyette's lyric innovations as well as her key poetic concerns. A selection chosen from across Goyette's published work then presents readers with poems that appear in chronological order to ground readers in the poet's trajectories of thinking. The volume closes with a new and previously unpublished interview between Goyette and scholar and writer Erin Wunker. For scholars, poetry aficionados, students, and those interested in questions of care, connection, and ecosystems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSue Goyette \u003c\/b\u003elives in Kjipuktuk (Halifax).
