Kroetsch's work in the 1990s and 2000s was marked by the production of experimental chapbooks. Yet it is in the 2000s that Kroetsch's celebrated <em>The Hornbooks of Rita K </em>and his final collection, <em>Too Bad, </em>were published. <em>Post-glacial </em>presents the material in a thematic arc that follows daily, seasonal, and biographical topics. The collection moves from moods of morning, spring, and youth to shades of darkness, winter, and mourning.</p> <p>In the introduction, Eso charts Kroetsch's early attempts at poetry in his teenage and undergraduate years. Eso takes the title <em>Post-glacial</em> from the poem "Lonesome Writer Diptych" and proposes the term as an alternative to "postmodernism," a term often used by critics to describe Kroetsch's work. Post-glacial emphasizes the poet's interest in landscape, ecology, history, the presence of absence, and the endurance of a living past.</p>
