A Remnant Shall Survive Gerrit Verstraete

"A Remnant Shall Survive," celebrates Naturalist impulse poetry in a form of writing en plein air." Home for the artist and poet is the Pacific Northwest Coast of British Columbia, immersed in the beauty of Vancouver Island and Gabriola Island. Written in Imagist style, the 152 poems offer a personal sense of emergent content to reproduce the peculiar quality of experiences and feelings, associated with life in western Canada, and in a language that continues to inspire him to write powerfully about the west coast.
