Résumé
Under a Maple Tree is a mixed and random collection of poetry, a byproduct of the Covid-19 pandemic; sometimes its cure worse than the disease, causing devastation and destruction, leaving our lives in the wake of division and a pendulum of emotions. Once a peaceful country, post-Covid Canada has found itself in a conundrum of incongruities and divisions, its very unity and stability in question; socially, politically, and economically. A random collection of social and political discourse put in poetic form - a reflection of our times - the news stories of 2022 - Covid-19 - the truckers convoy - the neglect and abuse of our elders in our long term care facilities - the horrific findings of our residential schools.
This collection is a continuation of the author's journey and journalistic poetry. And as we exit this pandemic as a society, as we begin collecting our wits, as the shell shock abates and healing can slowly commence, Under a Maple Tree is the beginning of this journey, a time when we can begin to digest and reflect upon these past tumultuous years.
