Post-glacial gathers key poems by Robert Kroetsch, chosen and arranged by his former student David Eso. The volume pairs canonical pieces like Completed Field Notes with rarer work from different stages of Kroetsch’s career and features an afterword by Aritha van Herk.

The selection traces Kroetsch’s shift from concise lyric forms to expansive, experimental long poems, and captures recurring interests in landscape, ecological presence, history and memory. Thematic sequencing moves through morning and spring into darker, winter moods and elegiac tones.

Readers of Canadian poetry, students of postmodern poetics, and anyone drawn to inventive, place-centered verse will find a compact portrait of Kroetsch’s voice and creative development.
