A book-length narrative poem on the exclusive relationship we have with ourselves.T.S. Eliot and Tennessee Ernie Ford, Buddha and Jesus, Jung and Heidegger. Love, solitude, obliteration, the ocean, and a sad neighbor who feeds pigeons. Metanoia is an aphoristically narrative poem that engages all of these, a book-length meditation on transformation, enlightenment, and on opening one's eyes. McCartney's work evinces that journey, the junket into the self. Sharon McCartney is the author of numerous poetry books. She has an MFA from the University of Iowa's Writers' Workshop and an LLB from the University of Victoria. She lives in Fredericton, New Brunswick, where she works as a legal editor.
Praise for Metanoia "So much is revealed in so few words ... It's a book that feels light, but its delivery is heavy, and worthy of contemplation ... McCartney is merciless in exposing vulnerability, but also builds an intimacy integral to Metanoia's achievement."--Quill & Quire, starred review "Sharon McCartney is something else, a poet with a personal vision who, in work after work, digs deeper into the exposed tissue of her own soul."--Numero Cinq
