In Technicolored Jason Guriel explores the nature of the 20th century icon, both filmic and poetic. Unspooling like a lost canister of film, this book offers fresh takes of Alfred Hitchcock and Orson Welles, Jean-Luc Godard and Brigitte Bardot, Ava Gardner and Rita Hayworth, Bela Lugosi, alongside William Carlos Williams, Ezra Pound and Frank O'Hara. It is hard to believe this is a first book of poetry, not only because these poems have appeared in virtually every journal in the country, but also because they have a precision of tone and image characteristic of older, more seasoned poets. Readers will enjoy revisiting their favourite screen idols and poetic staples while being introduced to a new voice on the Canadian literary scene that is sure to dazzle us as he too is exposed on the black and white of the page.
