In this incomparable third collection\, his first in a decade\, Michael Lista returns to reinvent poetry with humour\, pugnacity\, and a deeply singular voice. Splicing Byronic rhymes and Auden’s meters with the twenty-first century irreverence of a late-stage Twitter feed\, the poems in Barfly are alternatingly aggressive\, sweet\, deadly\, and raw with a break-your-heart vulnerability. \nABOUT MICHAEL LISTA \nMichael Lista is an investigative journalist\, essayist and poet. He has worked as a book columnist for the National Post and as the poetry editor of The Walrus. He is the author of four books: the poetry volumes Bloom and The Scarborough; Strike Anywhere\, a collection of his writing about literature\, television and culture; and The Human Scale: Murder\, Mischief and Other Selected Mayhems\, a book of longform journalism. His essays and investigative stories have appeared in the New Yorker\, The Atlantic\, Slate\, The Walrus\, Canadaland\, and Toronto Life. He is a contributing editor at Toronto Life and Maclean’s.
