Echo Soundings: Essays on Poetry and Poetics
Part rural conduit, part urban primer for the disenfranchised, Easy Fix explores cultural identity with both skepticism and compassion. It's this symbiosis that distinguishes Blair Trewartha's poetry, and leads him forward in "an entire world with its ducks in a row." Although he eschews easy answers, Trewartha remains honest and complicit, providing respite for the troubling obsessions that inform our lives. Easy Fix is a sharp, stylish, and sophisticated poetic debut by one of Canada's best young poets.
Blair Trewartha is the author of two chapbooks: Break In (Cactus Press, 2010) and Porcupine Burning (Baseline Press, 2012). His poetry has appeared in Carousel, Prism, Event, Existere, and Contemporary Verse 2. He is a former co-host of The Vagabond Trust Reading Series and a former contributing editor of Misunderstandings Magazine. Blair grew up in Clinton and has worked as a teacher and writer throughout Ontario. He currently resides in Toronto. Easy Fix is his debut full-length collection of poetry.
