INSCRIPTION FROM GARRY on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; light wear to upper spine extreme; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Garry Thomas Morse traces multiple lines of his mixed ancestry back to the nomadic "pre-historic" movements of Wakashan speakers who later formed various West Coast First Nations. Set around the vigilantly maintained border/lines that mark the relatively "unsung" decline of natural prairie life, this unromantic "wrecklogue" is fortified by a poetic intermezzo examining aggressive capitalist aspects of colonization that drove the fur trade in Manitoba and greatly influenced our contemporary sense of cultural and national identity. Then in the finale, with nods to Mallarme and Saskatchewan-born abstract expressionist Agnes Martin, Morse salvages space for an inner landscape and a harbour for the mind.
