Canadian, Roger Nash’s new poetry collection is a testament to a lifetime of reflection, compassion, and intellectual curiosity. Organized into thematic sections, the book moves from urgent meditations on climate change to intimate encounters with animals, landscapes, and moments of personal history. Nash balances wit and gravity, allowing humour to coexist with profound grief and tenderness. His ability to weave autobiographical detail with larger social and ecological questions makes the collection both deeply personal and broadly resonant. Whether writing about porcupines on a moonless farm night, wolves encountered in the woods, or the silence of snow on a city street, Nash illuminates how the ordinary can open into revelation. Jewish themes add an enriching layer, grounding human struggles in cultural memory and moral inquiry. This is poetry that confronts chaos without despair, reminding us of the small beauties and fierce responsibilities that define what it means to live. This book is well worth your attention.

 

 

What has been said about Roger Nash’s previous books

 

“… fresh, incisive, with twists and turns impossible to predict.” (Al Purdy)

 

“… Roger Nash releases language in hot pursuit of an idea, allows it to discover its own resources, to push through to its own affirmations.” (Richard Poole, Grain, U.K.)

 

“Roger Nash is more than a poet of whimsy. His eye for delicate detail and beauty, coupled with a natural gift for insight, synthesis, and deep understanding, transform the poems … from mere records of life into penetrating statements on the human condition.” (Bruce Meyer)

 

“… Nash’s acute observations always have the immediacy of the familiar here-and-now.” (Colin Morton)

 

“Celebratory, intimate, elegiac – and challenging – this is a strong voice for empathy in a cracking and crackling world. Roger Nash’s lyrical and daring explorations engage the reader with humour and wisdom, experiment and play, outrage and understanding, and above all, kindness.” (Sue McMaster)
