Synopsis

Martens' poems are in free verse, often surrealistic, told in the cadence of his "mennonite half-glass" past, hymns, and snippets of conversations he's had with people in bars, street corners, and while travelling abroad. His poetry is urgent and intimate - deeply human, richly emotive, and achingly expressive. These extraordinary poems will not only draw you in, but quietly transform you. He writes into the heart of complexity: identity, deprivation, ecology, aging, harmony - each theme delicately woven, each word carrying weight.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Robert Martens grew up in a village of Russian Mennonite refugees, where trauma, mutual self-help, and a degree of community control were commonplace. During Simon Fraser University's "long-hair" years of student rebellion, he quickly absorbed the individualistic values of Western society. Robert lives in the city of Abbotsford, BC, where he has edited and written local histories, and published a series of books of poetry. He grieves our world's loss, or even denial, of concepts of community and home.
