Moving through story and storytelling, history and his own geographies, I would like to see what he did with the first volume, to see where it all began; I like the loose feel of how connected these poems fit together, becoming accumulatively tighter as you move through the text.
Sproxton’s continued and continuing poem writes history and fathers, writes family reunions and what has happened in the wake between years, as well as stories ranging from fact to tall tales and everything in between.
What is interesting in Sproxton’s writing is the amount of serious play; the movements that have become so familiar in prairie poetry over the years, and how Sproxton adds to the conversation of play through his own variants.
