 Adam Svec has been pushing boundaries in Canadian folklore since he 
unearthed songs by CFL players in Library and Archives Canada, thereby 
thrusting himself into the scene—and the media spotlight. Those spartan 
poems are finally included in this anthology, in addition to the fruits 
of his subsequent expeditions, but there is much more besides, including
 honest accounts of the folklorist’s myriad trials and tribulations.

of Alan Lomax and Stompin’ Tom, the intertextual conceptualism of 
Vladimir Nabokov and Mark Z. Danielewski, and the searing intensity of 
Elizabeth Smart and Chris Kraus.</p><p>"Comically entertaining, presented with ''performative verve'', as novelist Jacob Wren puts it."<b>—<i>Atlantic Books Today</i></b></p><p>
