The critically acclaimed second collection of poetry by the author of Miraculous Hours.
"Living Things thrives." -George Elliott Clarke, Halifax Chronicle-Herald
Written in the year after the birth of Matt Rader''s first daughter, Living Things honestly introduces the contradictions of the modern world: "how what we see in daylight is less than whole / and also more so." Using words in lieu of sonar, these poems bounce off the ecology of "shabby saturated grasses" and "panther-eyed armies of salal," and locate both author and reader within a literary genealogy. Matt Rader''s poetry brings subtle slowness to a chaotic, fast-paced environment. It is both celebration and documentation of this world and its relationship to all living things.
