Shortlisted for the Derek Walcott Prize for Poetry - Longlisted for the 2023 E.J. Pratt Family Poetry Award

A CBC Best Canadian Poetry Book of 2021


Drawing on Arthurian myth, the Romantic poets, the ill-fated "Great War" efforts of the Newfoundland Regiment, modern parenthood, 16-bit video games, and Major League Baseball, these poems examine the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves, both as individuals and as communities, in order to explain how and why we are the way we are. At its heart, Romantic interrogates our western society's idealized, self-deluding personal and cultural perspectives.
