Village Books in Historic Fairhaven

This funny and thought-provoking memoir traces one day on “Trauma Farm.” Underlain with deep knowledge of biology and botany, this erudite, witty, and passionate book is an unforgettable portrait of the issues all farms face in this age of industrialization and homogenization. Brett’s adventures and his musings on the lost art of independent farming are so vivid the sights, sounds, and smells leap from the pages inspiring a romantic longing for a simpler, more meaningful existence living close to the earth.

Brett is the author of Uproar’s Your Only Music—a Globe and Mail Book of the Year—and several books of poetry. He has lived on Salt Spring Island running Trauma Farm for twenty years.
