Travelling The Lost Highway contains themes central to James Deahl's poetry: the poet's responsibility to nature, the necessity and beauty of love, elegies, and the vulnerability, yet surprising resilience, of all life. Central to the book is a series twenty-two travel pieces, written off the grid of main highways in Canada and the United States. Although not usually a political poet, the collection closes with a section of poems personally responding to the advent of President Donald Trump, an electoral result that, unlike most elections, changed everything.

Industry Reviews
"The landscape and its inhabitants are portrayed more like the accurate work of Canadian High Realist painters than the Group of Seven. There are meditations, eulogies and laments contained here, passionate love poems, poems that call upon national and generational history, and poems of political assessment. For Deahl, nature is the indifferent standard against which human activities can be compared, lauded, or found wanting. The forests renew as if trees conferred redemption even while evil [is] transforming the face of the norm. -- David Haskins, Canadian Stories
