Oil Spell
Oil Spell gathers many of today's dark energies--US drone strikes, environmental disaster--and asks: what kind of tool is poetry to mirror these violences? Oil Spell animates diverse influences--Dorothy Wordsworth's journals, environmental reports of extinction and endangerment, and the Pakistani government assessments of drone strikes. Oil Spell performs the ways in which narratives of loss and narratives of everyday joy curl into one another and mutually contaminate. The beauty that results is a troubled reflection, like a rainbow in a slick of oil.

Praise for this book
"Canadian poet Stancek demonstrates a belief in the power of cacophony to raise consciousness in this complex, multifaceted second collection. . . . Stancek's linguistic and conceptual derring-do make for a bracing, if challenging, experience."-- "Publishers Weekly" (1/1/2018 12:00:00 AM)
