Notes:
Accompanying cardboard wrapper: The Bards of March. For Robert Robert Kroetsch. Joy W. Oct 15/86
- Kerr “Aware”: poems in praise of alcohol. In Saskatchewan a television campaign called the Aware Program, promoting abstinence.
- “Spirit”: Poem in praise of Edmonton, notes there probably aren’t many of those.
- Going: Poems about good taste and against mass production.
- “Transcript”: Poem for university students.
- “Fight”: Based on the ‘fight for the family farm’, the most used political slogan in Saskatchewan.
- Kreisel: A trip to Fiji, attempting to find his hotel reservation at the airport. Staying at a guest house and visiting with locals. Second excerpt on attending delegation on Indigenous rights.
- Kamboureli: immigrant experience, in the form of a journal.
- Sproxton: a head frame is a part of a mine, he feels the need to explain as many have incorrectly titled or discussed his book title. Some of the poems have to do with languages or voices playing off/against each other.
