Witness
In this sweeping collection of poems Robert Currie explores the intersections of societal change, and personal survival in our recent 20th Century history. Robert Currie gives us his most compelling work to date in poems that thread together humanity, history and art. Ranging from the brief, lucid lyric to the long, narrative sequence Currie's poems sing with hope as we look for home. Language, time, and the act of witnessing merge through out this book as Currie writes about such diverse iconic figures as Auden, Elvis and Jackie Robinson. Even as Currie writes of difficult and sometimes dark subjects he always imbues his poems with delight and solace. These new poems by Saskatchewan's Poet Laureate are not to be missed.
