Finalist, Saskatchewan Book Award: Poetry Award honouring Anne SzumigalskiSuicide Psalms is both hymn and visceral scream - of loss, despair, hope and ultimately redemption. These poems are drawn out with quick precision, as if they were indeed written in haste, or delirium, before tightening the noose or firing the pistol or jumping off the ledge.Praise for Suicide Psalms:"And so it is that those friends who have lived close to suicide become the prophets who might lead us through the gathering darkness of our despairing ecocidal age - into more honourable, tender, sustainable ways of living together on this groaning, delicate, crying earth. `That something better rises out of the ashes.'' This is Rowley at her heart stammering, howling, apocalyptic, playful, musical best." (Di Brandt)"Mari-Lou Rowley takes a dark subject and frames it in a minimalist form, and she is largely successful in this endeavour. ... The words and imagery can cut like a razor ... this work hits an emotional chord in the fewest words possible." (Geist)"A number of poets have been using the word psalm to describe their poems, but Rowley doesn''t use the term loosely. In this small collection divided into three parts she uses the suicide of an individual as a starting point from which to mourn that individual, to look at suicide as an option and to consider the way in which the human race seems bent on the indiscriminate trampling of the natural world."
