Fast Commute : Poems

Here is a lament for places in flux; where industrial, commercial, or suburban development encroaches or invades.

From Highway 401 to Lake Ontario, long poem takes aim at the structures that support ecological injustice and attempts new forms of expression grounded in respect for nature.

It also wrestles with the impossibility of speaking ethically about 'the environment' as a settler living within and benefiting from the will to destroy that so often doubles as nationalism.

This deeply engaging book offers a way to see, learn about, and have a relationship with other-than-human life.
