A poetic response to the tumult of a move across country.

One Thing — Then Another is a collection of poetry divided into three unique sections: 'East' explores the constraints of living under the poverty line in a have-not province. 'And' is a long poem about moving in a U-Haul across the prairies during an ice storm. 'West' considers what it means to live in the have-ist of have provinces and trying to acclimate to that alongside an ever-present drought.

The poems are largely about contrast: east to west, flood to aridity, poverty to comfort, small town to city. Throughout this accessible, smart, and funny collection, there are many descriptions of apocalyptic upheaval to reflect the feelings of disruption that often accompany relocation.

Industry Reviews

“It takes the wit of a Claire Kelly to coin the term ‘un-talisman.’ That’s what a poem might be in the twenty-first century — it has no magical powers, won’t offer false hope, but when fashioned by the likes of Kelly, it offers a kind of eyes-wide-open solace: carry these un-talismans with you and watch the abject clutter of the ‘post-pre-post-apocalyptic’ era shine in their presence.” — Sue Sinclair, author of Heaven’s Thieves
