Alfred in Baffin Land: Carnival Traces in Purdy's North of Summer

http://www.uwo.ca/english/canadianpoetry/cpjrn/vol26/van%20rys.htm

"These poems trace the poet's voyage to a Bakhtinian carnival world both hell and paradise. The volume is filled with forms and tropes deriving from carnival culture as Bakhtin describes it, a culture embodying a serio-comical vision of the world. These Arctic poems create an upside down and inside out world where protean shape changes become possible. Baffin Land becomes a site of renewal and revision, revision of accepted cultural norms and of the poet himself."
