The Possible Past
Aislinn Hunter
Shortlisted: Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize, BC Book Prizes
When Aislinn Hunter released Into the Early Hours in 2001, critics praised its maturity and depth. That collection went on to win the Gerald Lampert Award for Best First Book of Poetry. Now Hunter takes her craft to a new level. The Possible Past is a sure-footed meditation on time and the meaning of “history,” an inquiry into both the abundant riches and the tensile limits of language and memory.
“What a smart, tough, thoughtful writer Aislinn Hunter is.” —Rhea Tregebov, ARC magazine
Aislinn Hunter was born in Belleville, Ontario, and lived in Dublin, Ireland, before making her home in Vancouver. She has published three critically acclaimed books: What’s Left Us and Other Stories (finalist for the Danuta Gleed Award and the ReLit Award), Into the Early Hours (winner of the Gerald Lampert Award, finalist for the Dorothy Livesay Award) and the novel Stay (Books in Canada First Novel Award finalist, Globe and Mail Top 100 Books selection).
