At times reflective, instructional, playful, or strange, the first section, Quotidianus, offers observational poems, which recount intimate and ordinary moments often missed, overlooked, or forgotten. Sze tugs at the fabric of habit and amidst the urban mundane finds her subjects in a woman waiting for the bus, a neighbour who talks to his plants, a girl smoking after a storm. The following section, Extimacy, takes a lyrical and confessional turn, veering inwards, dealing reflexively with the materiality of inner life: the self as ingredients, the self as experiment, the self as animal and artist. \u003ccite\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Anatomy of Clay\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/cite\u003e finds exceptions in the most prosaic conditions and the ineffable distinctions between people, selves, objects, and histories.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eGillian Sze was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

It’s a collection that challenges our notion of seeing as a passive or automatic activity by asking us to question the \u003ci\u003eprocess\u003c\/i\u003e of looking. The book’s first section, “Underway,” deals with the moving image and includes both poetic responses to film theory and lyrical long poems while also reimagining fairy tales. The next section, “Stagings,” takes its inspiration from the still image and explores a wide range of periods, movements, and media. Sze’s focus on the process of looking anticipates “Guillemets,” a creative translation of Roland Giguère’s 1966 chapbook, \u003ci\u003ePouvoir du Noir\u003c\/i\u003e, which contains a series of poems accompanied by his own paintings. Sze’s approach to Giguère is two-fold: she “translates” his text, and artist Jessica Hiemstra provides a visual response to her translation. The final section, “Panicle,” continues the meditative quality of “Guillemets” in a suite of poems that ruminate on nature, desire, and history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-top: 20px;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sans-serif-special\"\u003eBUY FROM:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Panicle-Gillian-Sze-ebook\/dp\/B06ZYK5133\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/2207\/files\/Amazon.ca_Button_77f55393-2cbc-407a-8a35-fd767e9ae248.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"30\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Panicle-Gillian-Sze\/dp\/1770414053\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/2207\/files\/Amazon.com_Button_74eac223-be95-45f8-898c-b5754c7edbce.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"30\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/ca\/en\/ebook\/panicle-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/2207\/files\/Kobo_Button_2219341d-eeb9-486d-b01d-4aeeb45141df.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"30\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/panicle\/id1228834835\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/2207\/files\/Apple_Books_Button_ba3b1bd9-cdcd-4b9c-8daa-23f0dda706a4.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"30\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.chapters.indigo.ca\/en-ca\/books\/panicle\/9781770414051-item.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/2207\/files\/Indigo_Button_8ac82365-74c6-462b-a9c1-f29926314ee1.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"30\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/panicle-gillian-sze\/1125833595\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/2207\/files\/B_N_Button_eda69837-b34b-4f02-a66d-9270330d32db.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"30\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9781770414051\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/2207\/files\/Indiebound_Button_c0528d0d-57c8-48f3-8255-08c8d61c3d79.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"30\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.booksamillion.com\/p\/Panicle\/Gillian-Sze\/9781770414051\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/2207\/files\/BAM_Button_101988c0-7e4b-442d-ab2b-556219f35ef2.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"30\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mcnallyrobinson.com\/9781770414051\/gillian-sze\/panicle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/2207\/files\/McNally_Button_b2df9a42-e2e8-4e84-9aa6-cbbbfdb6392f.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"30\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"small-grey-text\"\u003e\u003ci\u003ePrice may vary by retailer\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlso available at your local independent bookstore!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-top: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sans-serif-special\"\u003eBUY FROM ECW PRESS:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGillian Sze\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of five poetry collections, including \u003ci\u003ePeeling Rambutan\u003c\/i\u003e (Gaspereau Press, 2014) and \u003ci\u003eRedrafting Winter\u003c\/i\u003e (BuschekBooks, 2015), both of which were finalists for the QWF A.M.

He paints a picture of village life, his youthful love affairs, his rebellion as a young Marxist, and his evolution into a free thinker, living in hiding as a teenager for 30 months while being hunted by the secret police.

Her quiet and graceful prose draws us into intimate moments of childhood, wonder, motherhood, the mundane, and the pull of life. In retreating into our home, into a mother’s observances of how a child first learns to speak, and slowing down, Sze invites us into the space and gaps of her poetry and to pause in a busy and distracted world with tedious chores to find conversation.

Cas’s research on plastic-dissolving fungi is undervalued and underfunded, thanks to the invention of deleria, a drug that allows glimpses into different timelines. For the average user, it’s a way to view lost loved ones or experience a different life, but it also offers a glimpse into worlds where humanity has solved its many global crises.

As brutal government agents close in and her addiction to deleria grows, Cas has to make a choice: live in the spiraling branches of reality, seeking closure for Yana’s death until the drug shatters her mind, or live in the now, even if that means embracing her own damaged self and fighting, however hopelessly, for her own future and that of humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAvailable October 27, 2026.
