DESCRIPTION:
"The marriage of linguistic dexterity and felt intensity, their lyric alchemy makes these poems remarkable." — Globe and Mail (2012-10-26)
Even as he celebrates place and the difficulties and preciousness of human relationships, he portrays the sense of something vanishing. Exploring how alien nature can feel and yet how familiar it is as well, Sipos writes lush lyric poems about driving his truck or listening to the sounds of a henhouse, reflecting upon how everyday experiences slip through our fingers, never to be fully understood or completely articulated.Revealing a doubleness of sight, Sipos shows a fine-grained attention to the sensuous details of what he sees and experiences, yet simultaneously maintains a broader, philosophical view of the mysterious whole. Exploring northern British Columbia, the mountains, harsh winters and human isolation, the tension between the humble recognition that words are inadequate and the insistent urge to capture what he sees and feels gives Anything but the Moon
