"White Piano is another masterful collaboration [by Brossard and translators Robert Majzels and Erin Moure], the language by turns powerful and quivering ... and characterized by a transformative vitality ... At once achingly aware of mortality and hell-bound in its determination to press forward, change, and grow, White Piano is as brave as it is linguistically rich." - Quill and Quire "Brossard conflates writing with lovemaking -- 'at the hour of bedsheets or ink' -- the poems forming a grammar of desire, like a diagrammed body ... The translation Brossard is obsessed with here is of a different sort, the translation of bodily memories, resurrecting old loves. For Brossard words cover the wounds, 'colours that precede / the iodine of words / torment of punctuation.'" - The Believer (on Notebook of Roses and Civilization) "[Brossard] writes with a poetic intensity that burns select lines and sometimes entire paragraphs into the reader's mind." - Montreal Gazette
