Lousy Explorers by Laisha Rosnau (Nightwood Editions, 2009) Review by Sophie Blom

Laisha Rosnau does not fit the definition of a young poet and it shows. The loudest voice of her latest poetry collection, Lousy Explorers, speaks from a place of experience and motherhood. However, this fact should not deter a younger audience from savouring every rich word that Rosnau writes. Though she speaks from the perspective of adulthood, it is with the eyes of one new to the job.

The worst nuclear power plant disaster in history, an unspeakable famine killing millions, a hard-won fight for independence, a country left devastated by wars and Soviet occupation.

What compels us to keep histories so full of death alive?
