The literary set in Peterborough, Ontario recently gathered at local bookstore Titles to celebrate the launch of Lyric Ecology: An Appreciation of the Work of Jan Zwicky. The book, co-edited by Mark Dickinson and Clare Goulet, gathers contributions from twenty-five writers concerning the work of Zwicky, the Canadian polymath whose work refuses to recognize traditionally rigid barriers between disciplines.

If there is a word to summarize Zwicky's approach it is oneness, and so the collection brings together a broad cross-disciplinary selection of thinkers and writers, including poets such as Dennis Lee, philosophers, experts in myth and linguistics, musicians and musicologists. The publisher, Cormorant Books, calls the volume “the first formal consideration of Zwicky's philosophy.”
