  • The Long Bloom of the Environment: Problems and Solutions

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    We usually imagine environmental concerns in terms of a human-caused litany of losses. We have heard about the loss of biodiversity, deforestation, degradation of land, climate change, toxins in the air, and the disappearance of clean water and soil. Amongst that welter of information, if we were admit the selfish truth, we typically think about how such disasters might affect us. We consider food ... Read more

  • Clouds of the Cultural Desert: The Canadian Story

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    Although Canada is a country with a huge variety of geographical regions and ethnic diversity, Canadian colonial culture is a soothing, nearly featureless blanket spread across a largely misunderstood terrain and people. From the distance, the blanket appears homogenous, but a close examination reveals the many different threads that make up the whole, and its patchwork nature is more diverse ... Read more

  • The Greenhouse Girl

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    When Amy set out to write a novel, and thus establish herself as a writer to be reckoned with, she was faced with a problem. Although most novelists begin semi-autobiographically, her own life in the small town of Crooked River—with its endless cycles of mowing lawns and setting tables—was far too boring. No one could possibly be interested in what she had to say if she were the subject.That drove ... Read more

  • Going to Ground: The Search for Home

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    After his father died, Tom took the 1971 Impala that his father had bought the day he was born and drifted from one side of the country to the other, grafting limbs on fruit trees but keeping himself unattached. The years were a blur of seasons, and trees he'd nursed to health turned to witches brooms, gone wild on slopes where there had been apples and pears. Now that grafting season has become ...

  • Living on Nothing and Enjoying Less: An Eco-Handbook for Cheap, Sustainable Happiness

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    The desire to live more frugally, responsibly, and environmentally is loose in the land now. Despite the popularity of a minimalism which had its adherents buying more to pretend they had less, many people have a genuine interest in living more carefully. Learning to reduce our impact runs deeper than saving money or using those savings to buy more consumer goods. Instead, people are starting to ... Read more

  • ChatGPT vs Professor: Struggling with Fiction and Poetry

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    Although some people are using ChatGPT to write children's books for sale, most people are looking for information or entertainment when they type in a prompt. In this study, I became more interested in what type of narrative it might create with a specific or vague set of instructions. For the most part, its stories were trite and hackneyed generalizations befitting a mere sentence generator, but ... Read more

  • Science, Belief, and the Cultural Burden of Superstition

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    In this idiosyncratic study I imagine the scientific enterprise to be an edifice of reasoning and experimentation that we share with every animal all the way back to the protozoa. Only recently, in geological terms, did we choose to indulge in fantasies and stories, and although they served to entertain us through the dark nights, and could be used as memetic tools, they sometimes confounded us ...

  • Epiphytes 3: Fighting for Home

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    They'd never anticipated a battle, and still less that someone would attack them from within, but the colonists of Marée had learned to be resilient. They counted their losses and began to rebuild. The widespread field that remained from the long-ago exploded planet was rich in resources and they were far enough from the inner planets that they felt they could afford to experiment with engineering ...

  • Epiphytes 2: Settlement and Building

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    Once they arrived at the rogue planetoid they'd been hard at work. Uta had called the field of asteroidal debris Marée, since it was subject to tides, but its dispersed nature made building a colony both easier and more difficult.Their ship Marita drifted amongst the planetary fragments, and far away, a streamer of drives showed that ships were coming as quickly as possible. Some of them were old ... Read more

  • A Hairy and Fiery Star

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    The announcement of the comet's arrival was greeted with both fear and anticipation. In a thousand cities there were astronomers—both amateur and professional—who turned their telescopes to the night sky, and papers were prepared for publication by scientists and crackpots alike. It would be both an ordinary occurrence and would change everything, and people believed at first that hardly a single ... Read more

  • Innocent When You Dream: Narrative in Tom Waits' Songs - the middle years

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    This second volume of my Narrative in Tom Waits' Songs series follows the shifts in his music as Reagan's eighties tumbled into the nineties. The narrative voice shifts with his music as the stories drift outside the personal to examine the world around him just as much as it does his reactions to it.Tom Waits' middle period is much more experimental than his early work. The piano-playing hard ... Read more

  • The Abyss of the Tortured Self: Narcissism and the Loss of the Other

    by Barry Pomeroy ...
    This analysis of narcissism and the resultant breakdown of relationships begins with a working definition, includes the myth of Narcissus, as well as its more relevant implications, and makes a detour into the history of narcissism's presentation on American television. Beginning with television's profound penetration into the American home, the project then details the shifting face of narcissism ... Read more
