Also included are numerous full-colour photographs and photocollages, a practice Miki has become increasingly drawn to in recent years; in the book's previously published sections and in the much-anticipated section of brand-new work, Miki's poems and photographic works engage in a mutually enriching dialogue. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA Member of the Order of Canada and the Order of British Columbia, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, Roy Miki is one of Canada's preeminent poets; he is also an influential critic, founder of the literary journal \u003cem\u003eLine\u003c\/em\u003e, and noted activist, instrumental in the movement for Japanese Canadian redress. All of Miki's roles and concerns coalesce and interpollinate in his perceptive poems, which remain precisely attuned to the complex relationships between race, language, and power as they map and interrogate the layers of history enfolded within place and identity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is the fourth volume in a new series of collected works published by Talonbooks.
