Whether he writes of empathizing with late-night bicycle thieves, of untangling difficult histories and uncertain futures, or of horsing around with his grandsons, John Terpstra’s poetry recounts life’s colloquial essence with the ease and economy of a conversation between long-time neighbours, drawing the reader in close. This collection also includes the essay “Writing by Feel,” a reflection on forty years of writing.
