Syllable Junkie
by
Jason Arthur Cronkwright
Syllable Junkie begins with ‘Life’ and ends with ‘Death’. Birds learn to fly, sea turtles gorge on plastic, people drown, chickens and guppies rant, ants battle, humans pollute, sperm speak, men become fathers, nostalgia bubbles to the surface, and the earth’s fish and bird populations plead to Mother Nature for the extermination of the human race. Unabashedly honest, surprisingly tender, and oddly humorous, these poems wade into the trash vortex, covering topics like climate change, consumerism, invasive species control, war, death, desire, inequality, ADHD, limbo, and loss. Jason Cronkwright tells stories, some ostentatious and ambitious, others deeply personal and intimate, drawing astute attention to the beauty and absurdity of our shared experience, reminding us, above all else, to “giggle through life.”
Jason Cronkwright grew up fishing, hunting, and exploring local dunes. He enjoys graphic design, canoeing, biking, scouting for critters, and making people laugh. He holds a BA in Indigenous Studies from Laurentian University. Syllable Junkie is his first book. Jason lives in Ottawa with his darling wife and two wonderful children.
