The acclaimed author transforms a single day on his small farm into a "gorgeously thoughtful meditation on the natural world" and our place in it (Vancouver Sun).

The acclaimed poet and author Brian Brett takes readers on an irreverent and illuminating journey through a day in the life of his small island farm in British Columbia, affectionately named Trauma Farm. With fascinating ruminations on everything from the natural history of farming to the horrors of industrial slaughterhouses, Brett's day of tending to his farm becomes a Joycean epic of agrarian life.

Brett moves from the tending of livestock, poultry, orchards, gardens, machinery, and fields to the social intricacies of rural communities and, finally, to an encounter with a magnificent deer in the silver moonlight of a magical field. Brett understands both tall tales and rigorous science as he explores the small mixed farmmeditating on the perfection of the egg and the nature of soil while also offering a scathing critique of agribusiness.

Whether discussing the uses and misuses of gates, examining the energy of seeds, or bantering with his family, farm hands, and neighbors, Brett remains aware of the miracles of life, birth, and death that confront the rural world every day.

Trauma Farm was a 2009 book of the year in the Times Literary Supplement and the Globe & Mail, and winner of Writers' Trust Canadian Non-Fiction Prize.
