In a strong prairie voice, Gerald Hill presents a lively, accessible collection of poetry. These are poems about Saskatchewan people, about Saskatchewan places, and about what it's like to live here.
But in the telling of these poems - in the creation of the Man from Saskatchewan - Hill also reveals the universal truths to which we're so often blind. The Man from Saskatchewan is not that different from anyone else: he's a son, a father, a husband , a man with strengths but limitations and weaknesses also, a man who oftentimes struggles to make sense of the world around him.
