Description
How do we live together in a world debased by injustice and violence? Robert Martens’ city of beasts suggests that embracing transience, acceptance, and yes, love, can light a flame in the empire’s heart of darkness.
About the author
robert martens was raised in a Mennonite refugee village, experiencing there the kindness and cruelty of face-to-face community. He discovered the greater world when he attended Simon Fraser University during its years of student protest. Robert then settled into the “little life” of Abbotsford, BC, where he writes and edits. His poems are a diminutive challenge to the cosmic forces of time and space, war and peace.
