Description
Part rural conduit, part urban primer for the disenfranchised, Easy Fix explores cultural identity with both skepticism and compassion. It's this symbiosis that distinguishes Blair Trewartha's poetry, and leads him forward in “an entire world with its ducks in a row.” Although he eschews easy answers, Trewartha remains honest and complicit, providing respite for the troubling obsessions that inform our lives. Easy Fix is a sharp, stylish, and sophisticated poetic debut by one of Canada's best young poets.
