Post-glacial is a collection of poems by Robert Kroetsch selected
by his former student David Eso. The book features Kroetsch's
iconic collection, Completed Field Notes, alongside rare work
gathered from different stages of Kroetsch's career. The book
contains an afterword by Aritha van Herk.Kroetsch's poetry evolved
from short lyric poetry in the 1960s to postmodern long poems in
the 1970s and 80s. Kroetsch's work in the 1990s and 2000s was
marked by the production of experimental chapbooks. Yet it is in
the 2000s that Kroetsch's celebrated The Hornbooks of Rita K and
his final collection, Too Bad, were published. Post-glacial
presents the material in a thematic arc that follows daily,
seasonal, and biographical topics. The collection moves from moods
of morning, spring, and youth to shades of darkness, winter, and
mourning. In the introduction, Eso charts Kroetsch's early attempts
at poetry in his teenage and undergraduate years. Eso takes the
title Post-glacial from the poem ""Lonesome Writer Diptych"" and
proposes the term as an alternative to ""postmodernism,"" a term
often used by critics to describe Kroetsch's work. Post-glacial
emphasizes the poet's interest in landscape, ecology, history, the
presence of absence, and the endurance of a living past.
