He received his Ph.D. in philosophy from Western University in 1998. His books include Blindsight and the Nature of Consciousness, which was shortlisted for the 2005 CPA Book Prize. Inversed is his sixth book of poetry. INVERSED: In these poems, Jason Holt explores unusual word patterns that can help thoughts and feelings break free from the structures of habit and convention. Word-work and play come together herein an attempt to resolve, by expressing them, the inevitable conlicts of raw experience. A new book by the inimitable Canadian poet Jason Holt always offers an adventure both exhilarating and terrifying. In one sense, Inversed is no exception to the patterns that mark this exceptional poets progress. The reader will delight to ind his trademarks of condensed diction and spare syntax, scintillating settings for his huge subjects in powerfully implosive poems that have consistently set Holt apart from all the other poets of his generation. But the poems of Inversed burn even brighter with the cold ire of Holts word-passion, luttering like a titanium butterly on a pica.
