Description
Old Gods by Conor Kerr is a collection of poems that traverse landscapes and time with restless energy. Through sharp and incisive verse, Kerr explores the natural world and its connections to the land and its inhabitants. The poems in Old Gods are characterized by their fluid movement, evoking images of 4Runners racing across the night sky, buses traveling between towns, and friends searching for each other online. Yet, amidst this motion, the natural world remains a constant presence: watching magpies, woodpeckers, and cedar waxwings, coyotes and porcupines. In this collection, Kerr situates his reader within the Métis mindset, drawing on the old gods of the land to reclaim their place in the present. The result is a powerful exploration of identity, belonging, and the interconnectedness of all things.
