Author Reading: Phil Hall reading from Killdeer

Hall is a surruralist (rural & surreal), and a terroir-ist (township-specific regionalist).  In Killdeer, he offers memories of, and homages to – Margaret Laurence, Bronwen Wallace, Libby Scheier, and Daniel Jones, among others. He writes of the embarrassing process of becoming a poet, and of his push-pull relationship with the whole concept of home. His notorious 2004 chapbook essay The Bad Sequence is also included here, for a wider readership, at last. It has been revised. (It’s teeth have been sharpened.)
