Conjure: A Book of Spells - Paperback

by Peter Dubae (Author), Peter Dube (Author)

Evoking hidden worlds, summoning visions and making magic happen, Conjure: A Book Of Spells is filled with vivid images and tantalizing narrative fragments that stir the heart, mind and eye. Echoing the tone and structure of Medieval and Renaissance grimoires, Dubé's unique collection joins surrealist automatism with rigorous formal discipline and offers readers a profound and complex work. Peter Dubé is the author of four other books: Hovering World, At the Bottom of the Sky, Subtle Bodies: a Fantasia on Voice, History and René Crevel, which was a finalist for the Shirley Jackson Award, and most recently the novel The City's Gates. He is also the editor of three anthologies of contemporary writing. His essays and critical writings have been widely published in journals such as CV Photo, ESSE, Hour and Ashé, and in exhibition publications for various galleries, among them SKOL, Occurrence, Quartier Éphémère and the Leonard and Bina Ellen Gallery of Concordia University. He lives in Montreal.
