A son struggles to make sense of the life she left behind. Set against the stark northern Alberta of the 1980s and 90s, \u003cem\u003eWho Else in the Dark Headed There\u003c\/em\u003e follows a man reaching through time to find the child he was and the father he is becoming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeneath this waking world is another world, of the overheard, of the unsaid. To enter is to find a lyricism finely wrought and hallucinatory, a depth of feeling and fidelity to metaphor in all its guises--but most of all an urgent relationship with language. Here, in a reconstruction of childhood's rooms, Garth Martens approaches the past not as a record but as a pressure, a \"muscled concentration\" that reorders, resuscitates, and redoubts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGarth Martens\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of \u003cem\u003ePrologue for the Age of Consequence\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eWho Else in the Dark Headed There\u003c\/em\u003e.
