Who Else in the Dark Headed There - Garth Martens

Descriere Who Else in the Dark Headed There - Garth Martens

\nIn his first collection since the Governor General's-nominated Prologue for the Age of Consequence, Martens adds an autobiographical lens to his concerns about class and labour.\n \nA mother disappears. A son struggles to make sense of the life she left behind. Set against the stark northern Alberta of the 1980s and 90s, Who Else in the Dark Headed There follows a man reaching through time to find the child he was and the father he is becoming.\n \nBeneath this waking world is another world, of the overheard, of the unsaid. To enter is to find a lyricism finely wrought and hallucinatory, a depth of feeling and fidelity to metaphor in all its guises--but most of all an urgent relationship with language. Here, in a reconstruction of childhood's rooms, Garth Martens approaches the past not as a record but as a pressure, a muscled concentration that reorders, resuscitates, and redoubts.\n
