Burntroot
by
Brad Thomas Batten
A collection of poetry that speaks to the wonders of nature and the spiritual and psychological landscape of those who venture into its depth, Burntroot takes its readers on a profound journey. Inspired by a two-week canoe trip into Ontario’s Algonquin Park, one of Canada’s wildest and most awe-inspiring locations, its poems describe a freedom and beauty that too few get to experience in these hectic modern times. Burntroot will leave readers with a sense of reverence and an awakening to the beauty of life, both within and without.
Brad Thomas Batten is a writer and artist with a background in religious studies and literature. His first novel, JourneyMind, draws from a lifetime of travel and reflection, and was published in 2001. His second novel, Remembrance Day, was published in 2014. It tells the story of a young man growing up under the shadow of wars fought and carried home by his father and grandfather and his struggles against a history long past that punish generations of a family. Batten lives in Kingston, Ontario. Burntroot is his first collection of poetry.
