Best known as a political sociologist and public intellectual, Trevor W. Harrison in this collection of poems explores questions of remembrance, regret, nature, and loss. These previously unpublished poems were written over several decades. Sometimes wryly humorous and playful, but always thoughtful, they will cause the reader to reflect upon their own personal experiences.

This collection combines several poems written since 2020 with five poems of older origin. An earlier version of “A Pretty Good Planet” appeared in Alberta Views in March 2022. An earlier version of “Guernica, Then and Now,” appeared in Canadian Dimension in November 8, 2023.
Together, the poems deal with the growing dystopian elements of our age. War, threats of war, our collective apathy, and its consequences take centre stage. But war also shares the stage with other threats—climate change, pestilence, oligarchic power, and right-wing authoritarianism. The poems bend towards the dark but in the author’s words, he would rather walk in the truthful dark than in a false light.
