À propos de cet audio

Inspired largely by the poet's experiences as a young man working in the Saskatchewan oilfields, Mathew Henderson's The Lease explores masculinity and the roles morality, violence, and hard labor play in it. Equal parts character study, cultural documentary, and coming-of-age narrative, Henderson's poems make it clear that however we may try to stay apart from them, the stubborn and often unflattering realities of masculine culture persist, not just in isolated, dangerous environments like this, but in our very idea of what work is.

No mark survives this place: you too will yield to unmemory. Give everything you are in three day pieces. Watch the gypsy iron move, follow its commands. Tend the rusted steel like a shepherd.

Lease is a series of stark, compact poems that sketch the rough contours of a young man’s life in the Canadian oil fields. Lean and unsentimental, the poems are unflinching as they capture fleeting moments of isolation, toxic masculinity, uneasy unsettling camaraderie, and moral ambiguity.

There’s a sharp precision to the writing; most poems carried a weight beyond its brevity.

The narration matches this tone perfectly. Delivered with clarity and restraint, it allowed the starkness of the poems to speak, enhancing their emotional impact without overshadowing them.
