"In this confessional debut collection, Matthew Walsh meanders through his childhood in rural Nova Scotia, later roaming across the prairies and through the railway cafe s of Alberta to the love letters and graffiti of Vancouver. In this nomadic journey, he explores queer identity set against an ever-changing landscape of what we want, and who we are, were, and came to be. Walsh is a storyteller in verse, his poems laced with catholic "sensibilities" and punctuated with Maritime vernacular. In These Are Not the Potatoes of my Youth, he illuminates the complex choreography of family, the anxiety of individuality, and the ambiguous histories of stories erased, forgotten, or suppressed. Readers will find moments of humour, surprise, and a queer realization that all is not what it seems."--
