Blending meaning and language, thought and ideas, English and French, A Tilt In The Wondering intimately confuses understanding and the basis by which we judge our own reality. Writing as if the words themselves could vanish, Brossard fires question after question as if to explore the very nature of existence beyond time and presence. Divided into several poems, which appear to function as sections of the larger work, the language and imagery of each blends into the next and further confounds the already fragile distinctions between the pieces. This leaves the reader with the sense that there is “no real physical space in between/ but a sense of words falling.”
