Poetry from Canada's Oil Patch. Naden Parkin works in the oil patch, travelling around Western Canada in his half ton, driving from province to province, town to town and rig to rig. In the years of travelling alone through Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, for life, work and love, this combination of poems, songs and verse came to him. In "A Relationship with Truth," each page is filled with real life, hard work and true love. " This is coming from Canada. I'm a midwestern peasant, a man of the, God blessed rednecks with oil patch blood, Saskatchewan born, now working Albertan muds." Praise for A Relationship with Truth: " A Relationship With Truth, offers an incredibly interesting and necessary glimpse into Alberta's Oil-infused lifestyle. We have the chance to see how Canada's life blood has affected one man both negatively and positively. This book is a treat to read from start to finish." Tim the thrashing machine Hague, UFC Heavyweight and former King of the Cage Heavyweight Champion " I'm not much of a poetry reader, that's not what I'm about. I'm about drilling wells, spending time with my family and riding Harleys. It's the area of drilling wells where Naden and I find common ground and where our oilfield knowledge and expertise shine."
