About This Item
Catherine Ahearn (b. 1949) is a bilingual Canadian writer of poetry, prose, and essays, amongst other artistic endeavours. She was the first poet laureate of Ottawa from 1982 to 19984.
Thus Spoke Superman was her fourth collection of poetry, published in 1980 and is partly inspired by Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra, dealing with many of the themes which he treated in that work. As per the description on the back of Ahearn's work, "It is in updating and expanding, in poetic form, some of Nietzsche's theories as well as in bringing into play her personal mythology that Thus Spoke Superman succeeds in creating a work of art that is both individualistic and profoundly lyrical."
This volume is in fair condition. There is much wear and discolouration to the covers and a small tear likely from a previous price sticker. A name and date that was written on the cover page in pen has been drawn over with black marker which is visible on the other side of the page. There is also an old price in pencil. Otherwise, the poems themselves are without blemish.
