His poetry has been influenced and inspired by the prairies and other Canadian poets, but he insists on disturbing the formal poetic inheritance he esteems. His engagement with a variety of speaking voices asks that readers question authority and challenge institutional privilege. In \u003ci\u003eBy Word of Mouth\u003c\/i\u003e, a collection from across his career, readers will discover how Cooley returns to the prairie vernacular and speaks to Canadian identity. Poetry, says Cooley, is about \u003ci\u003eour\u003c\/i\u003e time and \u003ci\u003eour\u003c\/i\u003e place. \u003cbr\u003e Nicole Markotic's introductory essay discusses how Dennis Cooley plays with poetic reference, inspires with syntactical surprises, parodies contemporary writing, and indulges in wild, celebratory puns. This book roams around Dennis Cooley's poetical world and invites the reader to play along.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDennis Cooley\u003c\/b\u003e grew up in Estevan, Saskatchewan, and attended the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Rochester.
