Synopsis

Living Things thrives. -George Elliott Clarke, Halifax Chronicle-Herald

Written in the year after the birth of Matt Rader's first daughter, Living Things honestly introduces the contradictions of the modern world: how what we see in daylight is less than whole / and also more so. Using words in lieu of sonar, these poems bounce off the ecology of shabby saturated grasses and panther-eyed armies of salal, and locate both author and reader within a literary genealogy. Matt Rader's poetry brings subtle slowness to a chaotic, fast-paced environment. It is both celebration and documentation of this world and its relationship to all living things.
