This is a short book of poetry by Saskatchewan's poet laureate. I don't read much poetry so it's hard for me to critique this book. I did like many of the poems and the images they evoked. Mr. Kerr talks about "the self" in its many forms, about jazz music and about the freedom of smokers "doin' what [they] want".
Tremendous amount of research yields a terrific book.

It doesn’t sound like a super-exciting read, and probably for a lot of people, it may not be. It is probably more of interest to librarians and/or people from Saskatchewan who use or once used their public/regional libraries. I am both a librarian and I grew up in rural Saskatchewan and used our local branch of the Chinook Regional Library. I did find it interesting (mostly) to read about how the different regional systems were formed, the politics, etc. There were a lot of stats and economics included, as well, which all sounds not overly exciting, but it’s written in an accessible way. I did recognize a couple of names, even. Overall, I’m rating this good, but it’s likely to appeal to a pretty specialized audience.… (more)
