I Could Have Pretended to Be Better Than You

Bag om I Could Have Pretended to Be Better Than You

Poetry. Spanning more than 25 years, I COULD HAVE PRETENDED TO BE BETTER THAN YOU gathers work from three distinct eras of Jay Millar's development as a poet: the wonder years of the 1990s culled from a variety of self-published micropress publications, most of which are hiding in special collections; poems from his trade books issued between 2000 and 2015; and new poems that have emerged during his present condition as one of Canada's most progressive co-publishers. The broad view that this collection offers enables an appreciation of Millar's work as both an idiosyncratic, herkyjerk chronicle of small press culture and a multifaceted mode of questioning how we judge sensations, failures, affections, and relationships. However irreverent he may seem, Jay Millar possesses a disarmingly honest, inventive sensibility closely attuned to the everyday, the overlooked, the transient. Be careful where on your bookshelf of Canadian poetry you place this volume: it might very well set others askew.
