Along with Jason Holt's usual penchants for wordplay and rhythm, for exploring the tensions between reality and possibility, intellect and emotion, hope and despair, Holt also (for the first time) titles his poems throughout-in ways that stress the context-sensitivity of our encounters with meaning in life as on the page.To me, good poetry is poetry that is fresh each time one reads it, yielding new pleasures and unforeseen perceptions. I can say without reservation that, having read Fledges and Phraselings several times, I fully anticipate my next encounter with its jests and gestures. -T. Culleton, LibraryThingJason Holt lives in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, Canada with his wife Megan and their cats Ruby and Jasper. He is Professor of Kinesiology at Acadia University, where his research interests include aesthetics, philosophy of sport, and philosophy and popular culture. With over fifty essays published in numerous journals and anthologies, he is also the author of many books, most recently the scholarly Kinetic Beauty: The Philosophical Aesthetics of Sport (Routledge, 2020) and the literary Fledges and Phraselings (Anaphora, 2019).
