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.
