what is this place we have come to

The poems in what is this place we have come to are soft incantations, wisps of song and dull-throated sighs. They are whispers, and mantras, made by the wind, or by the narrator's breath -- her inspiration, her delivery of life. In between are the fables and the paean of myth that set a narrative framework behind this ethereal coda. (from book jacket)

vicissitudes

In vicissitudes Lia Pas explores the acts of conception and birth as metaphysical and initiatory experiences. Using earth-bound as well as mythical imagery, she charts the steps of a woman on this path of mothering beyond the purely physical. The book is hand bound in linen thread with a handmade Nepalese Lotka paper cover, vellum-like endpapers and textured text pages with some coloured type, and drawings by Lia Pas as well.

Published by Underwhich Editions in a limited edition of 100 in 2001. $12.00 CAN. 14 pages.
