Review
"Delicate and polisged as an auspicious white stone found on the beach, this collection establishes Stephanie Bolster as a poet of significance." -- The Malahat Review, Winter 1998
White Stone: The Alice Poems is Bolster's first book but no doubt has found an eager audience already, not only among those like myself who were watching out for more "Alice" poems as soon as they began to appear in literary journals but also among a wider general public... Delicate and polished as an auspicious white stone found on the beach, this collection establishes Stephanie Bolster as a poet of significance. -- The Malahat Review, Winter 1998
Product Description
Winner of the 1998 Governor General's award for Poetry. These evocative poems move from the icon of Alice in Wonderland to the imagined figure of Alice out of Wonderland-on a Vancouver beach with the poet, underground with Persephone, in Memphis with Elvis. But first they explore the life of the real Alice Liddell (1852-1934), who sat still for Charles Dodgson's camera and inspired the Alice books which prompted his rise to fame as Lewis Carroll. The publication of White Stone in 1998 coincides with the centenary of Lewis Carroll's death.
