Cast during his year in the U of A's writer in residency, wild horses is Ottawan rob mclennan's deep lyrical engagement with Edmonton, Alberta. He sees the new terrain through his peculiar, sympathising lens--characterised by impassioned tones that range from brusque to tender. There is something of the magpie in him: nothing escapes his subtle gaze, his flighty wit, his voracious gleaning of experience. His supple lines meander and flit over scapes of love, home, family, and literature, rewarding the magpie-minded with a lucid estrangement to things both unfamiliar and familiar.

University of Alberta Press

For rob mclennan, poetry is a way of seeing, and what is seen in harvest: a book of signifiers is always a landscape as it inhabits the poet and his various personae. In the absence of capital letters, with only minimalist punctuation, and with a denial of the possessive case, (all formal signifiers of precedence and ownership), these poems do not appropriate the landscapes of their gaze, but rather liberate them.What is harvested here are the signifiers for journeys: tickets, postcards, lettersrecording unseemly haste, enforced idleness, losing one’s way, and sometimes finding it again. All coloured in the deceptive hues of a populist and egalitarian style, these poems are allowed to signify their own powerful and at times devastating ambiguities, from a magic more elusive than any spell she whispered” to the salt waste left by the flood, where no seed grows.”the present is a small thing & moves very fastin the same river, which as they say,moves. it takes& takes & takes. a polaroid     too longto develop.

This witty and urbane Unknown City book—one of only a handful guides available on Ottawa—charts a course through the city’s hidden landmarks, shopping and dining hotspots, and secret histories.
