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 of 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Biblioasis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771967082\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 110","brand":"Garth Martens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52302242709685,"sku":"9781771967082","price":13.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_35492b5b-bb73-4e63-8e22-e2dfebe2c341.jpg?v=1772552521","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/who-else-in-the-dark-headed-there-9781771967082","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
