  • Clouds of the Cultural Desert: The Canadian Story

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    Although Canada is a country with a huge variety of geographical regions and ethnic diversity, Canadian colonial culture is a soothing, nearly featureless blanket spread across a largely misunderstood terrain and people. From the distance, the blanket appears homogenous, but a close examination reveals the many different threads that make up the whole, and its patchwork nature is more diverse ... Read more

  • The Abyss of the Tortured Self: Narcissism and the Loss of the Other

  • Crushing All Hope: Trying to Be a Foster Parent for Manitoba Child and Family Services

    by Barry Pomeroy ...

  • The Cook Islands and Fiji: A Thirty Years’ Retrospective of Living in Manihiki

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    Thirty years have passed since I went to the Cook Islands and Fiji, and although the original record of my voyage has long been lost, when I sifted through my memories of that most seminal time in my life, the entire trip was still there waiting for me. My first time overseas, teaching, and living with a family, I found that what I'd been taught about people from other countries was vague and ... Read more

  • Living on Nothing and Enjoying Less: An Eco-Handbook for Cheap, Sustainable Happiness

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    The desire to live more frugally, responsibly, and environmentally is loose in the land now. Despite the popularity of a minimalism which had its adherents buying more to pretend they had less, many people have a genuine interest in living more carefully. Learning to reduce our impact runs deeper than saving money or using those savings to buy more consumer goods. Instead, people are starting to ... Read more

  • Against Our Better Nature: Why Good People Do Bad Things

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    When discussing morality, people typically focus on the big questions and ignore the decisions we make at nearly every moment of our lives. We are not often asked to choose between a baby's life and an animal, whether to cheat on a loved one or betray a friend, but we are constantly bombarded by opportunities to act either ethically or merely self-serving.The stories in this collection are more ...

  • Innocent When You Dream: Narrative in Tom Waits' Songs - the middle years

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    This second volume of my Narrative in Tom Waits' Songs series follows the shifts in his music as Reagan's eighties tumbled into the nineties. The narrative voice shifts with his music as the stories drift outside the personal to examine the world around him just as much as it does his reactions to it.Tom Waits' middle period is much more experimental than his early work. The piano-playing hard ... Read more

  • A Storied Winnipeg: Fables and Local Legends

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    The stories of Winnipeg are as varied as the city itself. Caught in the middle of the continent by the amber of its past glory and its current penury, Winnipeg occupies a rare and beautiful place in the Canadian landscape. Winnipeg is defined by its main road, which merely circles the city, and its tottering buildings sitting on pylons driven deep into the mud of the ancient lake-bed. The ... Read more

  • The Long Bloom of the Environment: Problems and Solutions

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    We usually imagine environmental concerns in terms of a human-caused litany of losses. We have heard about the loss of biodiversity, deforestation, degradation of land, climate change, toxins in the air, and the disappearance of clean water and soil. Amongst that welter of information, if we were admit the selfish truth, we typically think about how such disasters might affect us. We consider food ... Read more

    Blind Fish, #1

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    Series Book 1 - Blind Fish
    The Bio Park is the ultimate playground. A fully functioning ecological system almost a mile underground--later converted to an amusement park--it took years to build and hundreds of millions to develop.

  • We Have Changed: Returning to Thailand in 2019

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    My latest trip to South East Asia differed from other trips in that I was older, my traveling companion was younger, and Thailand had changed. I didn't plan to return to the country, but my friend had taken a teaching practicum in Bangkok, and we both thought we would enjoy exploring the north of the country before her term began. We laid our plans a few months in advance, but like most trips, it ... Read more

  • Wasted and Wounded: Narrative in Tom Waits’ Songs

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    This collection unearths the stories that run parallel to those of Tom Waits' early songs. They do not retell as much as push the envelope wider, strain the meaning of a few lines, and stretch the place the song occupies so that the river rats and abandoned dogs, crying children on the street and shifty-eyed suits, salesmen with their patter and hobos with their rags, can shoulder out a space. ...
