In celebration of our 100th print publication, The Blasted Tree is pleased to reissue our very favourite poem, “night demo IV (tear gas)” by Tara McGowan-Ross. Part protest chant, part concrete poem, “night demo IV”—which originally appeared in McGowan-Ross’ 2016 collection Girth—has be redesigned using collage and photocopier techniques to resemble a demonstration advancing down a street. The Blasted Tree has produced an edition of one hundred 11” x 17” posters, available by donation in our online store.
