Too Bad
Too Bad: Sketches Toward a Self-Portrait | Robert Kroetsch
2 posts | 1 read
A prodigious body of innovative writing behind him, Robert Kroetsch turns to a starker lyrical mode in Too Bad: Sketches Toward a Self-Portrait. Oscillating between the many moods of a human heart that has lived through so much—from whimsy and scorn through desire, longing, lust, love, and serenity—these sketches mark a candid walk through the tortuous corridors of the poet’s remembering, and exemplify the rehearsed dictum of an old teacher: “Every enduring poem was written today.” Simply put, “This book is not an autobiography. It is a gesture toward a self-portrait, which I take to be quite a different kettle of fish.” -- Robert Kroetsch, from the Introduction

When the radio host said, Now tell us again
who you are, I knew I was in trouble.
Flesh become flesh, I said. I was just guessing.
