"Trawling for Truths" by prolific Canadian poet Don Gutteridge is a humble collection that earns its title, provoking deep self-reflection. Inviting readers on a vulnerable, spiritual, and nostalgic exploration, these short and tightly edited verses run the gamut of subject matter, from religious faith and youthful folly to painful seasons of grief and longing. Gutteridge has no lack of vivid imagery or literary flourishes in his work, and manages to achieve a delicate balance of playful, heartfelt, and relatable. These poems should be enjoyed in pieces, a few poems at a time, allowing readers to savour these seemingly simple verses while the poet's message and meaning properly soak in. Another poetic gem from Gutteridge, a solemn, powerful, and wide-spanning collection.
