Reviews
" For Display Purposes Only is fighting trim, and poem after poem is a knockout blow." -- National Post"We are met at the front door of this book by an energized curiosity and a humane amusement. Worlds only notionally, minimally there become fully dimensioned, clearly edged under Seymour's attention. David Seymour is a magician." -- Tim Lilburn"Whip-pan-smart, fleet and protean, David Seymour's poems seem to contain the speed of the age. I love their ranginess and ambition, the way they rove through a here-and-now teeming with there-and-then, their speakers' flights and turnings through the blizzard. This is a different world, and we live in it." -- Paul Farley

Synopsis
These poems pause for the spectacle: cloning technologies, super-slo-mo photography, narcotic cab rides. Making fun of consciousness, they describe a system of tripwires, pitfalls and decoys that this notion of daily viewership entails. These poems are paeans to our facility for duplicity and self-deception, where the act of living becomes more and more like watching a film in which we play no role., "Whip-pan-smart, fleet and protean, David Seymour's poems seem to contain the speed of the age.

David Seymour 's first collection, Inter Alia , was nominated for the Gerald Lampert Award. He works in the film industry.

- 9***i (7)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe book finally came exactly as described. New condition! The book packaging was great! The seller is not responsive when you message them. But the book was stuck in GA for a while, then it came. Ebay had my 2 packages messed up on witch one was and wasn't delivered. So I was confused. Over all I am satisfied with the book!!

- a***m (10)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book looks great and seller was quick to respond when I sent a message asking about the item before purchase. The package came cut in places and alittle banged up (no fault to the seller) but the bubble wrap lucky saved the condition of the book. Super happy overall.
