Compare Rebuild, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Sachiko Murakami approaches the urban centre through its inhabitants' greatest passion: real estate. Rebuild engraves itself on the absence of Vancouver's centre, with its cranes, excavation sites, and bulldozed public spaces. Its poems crumble as the page turns, words flaking from the line like rain-damaged stucco off a leaky condominium, exposing the absence life inside the \"stanza\" of a despised \"Vancouver Special.\""Sachiko Murakami's first poetry collection, The Invisibility Exhibit, was a finalist for the Governer-General's Award for Poetry and the Gerald Lampert Memorial Award. She has been a literary worker for various publishers, magazines, and organizations, and is a past member of Vancouver's Kootenay School of Writing collective. She lives in Toronto where she co-hosts the Pivot Reading Series.
