From the cratered lake of Chennai, India to the environmental racism of Neon Genesis Evangelion’s Tokyo-3, Sunny Ways oscillates between images of environmental collapse and resistance.  Standing waist deep in the massive tailing ponds of Alberta’s Tar Sands, Sunny Ways wades through the tangled complicities of climate catastrophe. In the process, the book grapples with the failure of political hope and the intransigence of climate change denialism. Fitzpatrick channels his experiences growing up in the big sky economic pragmatism of Calgary, where oil pays the rent and puts food on the table, into an essayistic pair of long poems that echo the ecological poetics of writers like Rita Wong, Stephen Collis, and Juliana Spahr.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49747274203409,"sku":"NGR9781778430183","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52681001828625,"sku":"NLS9781778430183","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52754642534673,"sku":"NIN9781778430183","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/177843018X.jpg?v=1751059392"},{"product_id":"no-depression-in-heaven-book-ryan-fitzpatrick-9781772016956","title":"No Depression in Heaven","description":"\u003cp\u003eWritten during country music's most recent ascent in popularity, this poetry \"LP\" features ten \"tracks\" that each tip language out of key.

Occasioned by fitzpatrick's own move from Calgary to Vancouver in 2011, the book writes through the messy perspectives of the two cities as they bleed into one another - the energy in one city's streets suddenly appearing in the other - and engages with the urban and its intimacies through careful listening. The book's interlaced serial poetics is anchored by a series of lyric poems written in moments of transit - walking the streets, riding the bus, pausing in coffee shop windows. In these moments of reflection, fitzpatrick pinpoints his relationship to urban transformation. Written amid booms and busts, high and low tides, Coast Mountain Foot dwells on the gold rush and its aftermaths to ask: When the good times are all gone and it's time for moving on, what does it mean to move forward while snared by the past?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52471947165969,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52471947657489,"sku":"NLS9781772013597","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781772013597.jpg?v=1759836985"},{"product_id":"fortified-castles-book-ryan-fitzpatrick-9780889229099","title":"Fortified Castles","description":"\u003cp\u003eStarting with lyric statement as a point of interrogation, Fortified Castles asks what might cause retreat into the comforting walls of the self.
