Editor's Note:
Festus wakes inside a myth—on a wharf in Halifax, Nova Scotia— and recalls nothing but a bicycle. As he looks for it, he thinks the city’s thoughts. Upon a sidewalk over a buried river, he remembers what the city remembers. He steps past a skateboard park to a Mi’kmaq lagoon. He follows 17th century pioneer cattle to a fast food restaurant. In these poems, every object has a voice; every thing is awake. A girl he once knew steps out of the fragments. Festus is an anagogic man, loser-hero of the first city, Ur, Halifax. The Book of Festus is a shattered fable, a city’s lucid dream of itself.John Wall Barger’s poems have appeared in many journals and anthologies, including The Cincinnati Review, Subtropics, The Malahat Review, Best Canadian Poetry and The Montreal Prize Global Poetry Anthology. His second collection, Hummingbird, was a finalist for the 2013 Raymond Souster Award.
