Gatecrasher

"Poems about British Columbia, the author's relationship to the land, reconciliation, nature"-- Provided by publisher

Poems that revisit and revise concepts of self and land.

The poems in Gatecrasher reimagine social and familial relationships, personal and collective failures, and false nostalgias. Part surreal autobiography, and part observation of how physical and conceptual human-made structures are collapsing, this wildfire debut dreamwalks through the liminal space between expectation and disappointment, and the poet's relationship to the BC landscape.

"We are in the presence of a formidably original poetic talent... This is an impressively mature first book." — The Ormsby Review
