“The twenty poems of Pound @ Guantanamo exist in a space both
temporal and geographic, as well as virtuall … Originally emerging
from the 1980s and 90s small press community in and around Toronto,
Burnham’s work since landing west has broadened, connecting to a
wide and varied history of language poetry and social engagement …
Burnham composes, perhaps, ironically so, poems that wrestle with
the notion that more than talking or issuing statements (or writing
poems) is enough. There has to be action associated with the
speaking, otherwise, what’s the point?”
