Perfection

Om Perfection

Patrick Warner's Perfection makes a carnival of our most potent and dangerous obsessions. A factory outlet sells designer human parts at cut-rate prices, a midlife crisis becomes a cleansing ritual, a chocolate chip pancake stands accused at trial, and the predatory voice of anorexia speaks to a transfixed audience. Descending the rabbit hole of this wildly imaginative collection, we find ourselves in a field of engagement where the destructive ideals of beauty, politics, art, romantic love, and spirituality are ambushed by roguish parody, acerbic satire, life-affirming laughter, and a hard-won pragmatism. In Perfection, where death is certain and certainty is hell-bent on death, Warner refuses to rest on his laurels, continuing to build on his reputation as one of the most respected voices in Canadian poetry.
