Rush Hour AUTHOR: Catherine Hunter ISBN: 1894177088 77 MINUTES $12.95 CDN $12.95 US ABOUT THE CD: Rush Hour is a rivetting collection of spoken word poems written and performed by one of North America’s most powerful new literary voices. Catherine Hunter was the 1998 winner of the Manitoba Book of the Year for her poetry collection Latent Heat (published by Signature Editions). Rush Hour includes a “bonus track” recording of the title poem with music accompaniment by the smash hit band The Weakerthans.   REVIEWS: “The true gem on this CD is the second version of the title poem, ‘Rush Hour,’ with musical accompaniment by The Weakerthans. The piece is imbued with an unaccountable energy as if Hunter, like us, is hearing the track for the first time. It is gripping. The music adds an ethereal dimension that complements the haunting nature of the poem. It makes one wonder how we have dared to listen to poetry without musical accompaniment.” —Winnipeg Free Press   Other Signature titles by Catherine Hunter: Latent Heat In the First Early Days of My Death
