I Thought I'd be Happy provides absorbing terrain in which to ponder the question. Surreal and fragmented memories slowly reveal the courage it takes to accept change in others -- to realize you have shared the intimacy of strange travel together. In a work haunted by both cruelty and kindness, Jim Nason shows how our undoing can also be our extreme good luck."

In the other, the self; in sorrow, joy. These poems don't observe, they attend, and they do so with a depth and generosity that compels our attention."

From the 'glossy green tile' of Union Station '(twenty doors open at once)' to Lake Huron's 'green-grey rowel of water/and foam', Jim Nason's Narcissus Unfolding carries its imprint of human presence - the struggle to love, the need for redemption - even as it recognizes animal forms, 'As I were the imagined thing'..."

Tough, acutely observed, and tender, the stories in this collection bear the hallmark of a prodigious downtown seer whose unforgettable voice is distinctly his own. A gem of a work."

With telling images, and phrasing which reflects the shifting motions of grief, Nason offers us an opportunity to learn how to face the unbearable and bear it. These are poems from a writer who sees both that terrible space “at the edge of no person” and the “[r]ed and yellow tulips along the fence.” Poached Eggs with Skillet Toast https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad104191137a64e3d3dc356/1523912385249-Z66J8JF6DT1OEND1SQ8J/housekeepingjournals.jpg Jim's Work - “Jim Nason writes like an angel of the underworld.

These poems are eloquent hymns to the everyday, tender love songs to the brutal and the real. I love walking through the grey streets and lost back alleys of Jim Nason’s words. These are artful poems, thoughtful meditations. Listen closely. Watch carefully. Take a moment to feel what’s between the lines. Then read another poem."

A book that moves from the marvellous bone-headed cockiness of youth to a compassionate appreciation of human fragility, Spirit of a Hundred Thousand Dead Animals is an affirmation that one person’s determination to learn how to love becomes the next generation’s ability to love well.” Poached Eggs with Skillet Toast https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad104191137a64e3d3dc356/8e9c58b9-dff5-4fd3-b6b2-2632739ba5ae/BlueSuitcase-Front-reduce.jpg Jim's Work https://www.jimnason.com/about daily 0.75 2025-05-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad104191137a64e3d3dc356/1523708265148-HFWAZ8KFRS0QZ3FJE45P/JohnAshberybyLynnDavis.jpg About Jim - "Jim Nason’s short, fierce, taut poems confront, over and over, the horror and mystery of a lover dying of cancer. Hating his survivor’s eloquence, but using it, he achieves something like revenge against the forces of darkness."

Writing with animal characters is new for Jim, however, the themes they embody: freedom, wonder, hurt and wisdom, are not. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad104191137a64e3d3dc356/1523818250638-37DC22QJKK1Z3HXKM7LD/SOAHDA_Cover_CNTower.JPG About Jim - Spirit of a Hundred Thousand Dead Animals His recently released novel, Spirit of a Hundred Thousand Dead Animals, features a homeless parent, Jack Layton’s funeral, and a queer artist wrestling with the decision to stay in the small town where he was born or move to the big city where he is more likely to find others like himself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad104191137a64e3d3dc356/1523801616955-LZFN3IT11DUWWOV3F1K1/Jim_Bellwoods_5.jpeg About Jim https://www.jimnason.com/home daily 1.0 2023-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad104191137a64e3d3dc356/1638832603069-MM45NHSOZPOSSNDKT4FH/JJ-0520bw.jpg Home https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ad104191137a64e3d3dc356/t/6573746acd9b3720348f0bea/1702064256526/ Home https://www.jimnason.com/art daily 0.75 2024-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad104191137a64e3d3dc356/0434586c-7bc0-4b5d-88e3-5a4104ec42ae/2534-Boy+Wonderjpeg.jpeg Art -
