	Amazon.com: Visible Worlds: A Novel: Books: Marilyn Bowering (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Marilyn Bowering's Visible Worlds introduces at least 12 characters, cuts from Winnipeg to Siberia to the North Pole, shifts back and forth in time from 1960 to 1934, and depicts three crucial deaths.
		Like her fellow Canadian Michael Ondaatje, Marilyn Bowering is primarily a poet, and her background shows: in the book's lovely imagery, in its striking economy of language, and also, perhaps, in its greatest narrative shortcoming.
		But Bowering's characters, steeped in the Canadian virtues of stamina and decency, prove so compelling that few would regard the overabundance of imagery or story lines as anything but a wealth of poetic reflection on tragedy and human endurance.

	Bowering, Marilyn R(uthe) Criticism and Essays
		Surreal and vividly imagistic, Bowering's poems frequently resemble myths and dreams.
		Bowering writes many poems from the point of view of a primitive female persona and infuses her work with the myths and symbolism of the Canadian West Coast.
		In addition to her collections of poetry, Bowering also wrote The Visitors Have All Returned (1979), a structurally experimental novel in which each chapter is only loosely connected to the others.

	Message
		And without the tools for living drug-free that a person with drug and alcohol problems needs to survive and live a happy, healthy life, the outlook is a dire one - whether (as the theories continue even after 43 years) her death was accidental, planned, assisted, or not.
		In my research over the years I've found that much of what Marilyn had to say off-camera still resonates with us today and that she was in fact a woman possessed with a keen mind (and tongue) when it came to politics and the ways of power.
		I like to think there is a little "touch" of Marilyn in all of us, and that is why so many people of all types, relate to her.

		Bowering presents the natural world as passing with a consistent and dark ritualism into the supernatural world.
		Bowering's "fascination with the arcane," as Susan Musgrave has noted, is indeed what fuels her work.
		My only complaint is that Bowering's images are sometimes too highly polished and abstract to retain their humanity.

	Kickoff - New York Times
		THE Canadian poet Marilyn Bowering's latest novel is a vast, sprawling feast of a book.
		Despite the three-ring-circus atmosphere, there are many characters in whom we come to believe and trust (although I had a lot of trouble with Nate Bone's dead sister, who speaks to him from beyond in the voice he calls Explanata).
		In such a complex novel, readers are willing to accept the challenge of sifting through the assorted stories, settings, time frames and characters because we assume that everything will come together for a good reason by the book's end.

	Pursued by His Dead Stepmother - New York Times
		Those who think of Canada as a staid and proper place will have their misconceptions swept away by Marilyn Bowering's historical novel of the bad old days in Vancouver, British Columbia.
		Bowering tells two linking tales: one of a modern half-Chinese bachelor seeking to discover his parents' true identities, the other of his mother's and father's adventures during the late-19th-century period of colonial expansion in the Far East and British Columbia.
		The technique almost forces the reader to skip over the present-day adventures of Robert and his ghostly stepmother in order to find out what will happen next in the much more compelling tale they are unfolding about their ancestors.
