Resonant with Lyric by Jerrry Prager is a long poem in the tradition of Allen Ginsberg's Howl. It's about coming of age, about identity and place in the world, about the landscape and nation of Canada, about relationship to others and to posterity, about family history and past trauma, about concerns for the present and the future – all of these things and more. It is, in the end, about the struggle to be human in a particular time and place.
