About the Book

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."Logan Wild, Discovery Channel's Licensed to Drill
About the Author: I was born and raised on our family farm outside of Preeceville, Saskatchewan. My father was a farmer and a driller on an oil and gas rig in Northern Alberta and British Columbia. My mother was a stay home mom, who later worked in a hog barn nursery, and is currently working at a dairy farm. When I was 15 my parents divorced and I went to boarding school at Caronport, Saskatchewan. After high school and a year of college, I headed out under my father's instructions to live with my brother in Camrose, Alberta and began working as a lease hand on a rig near Rimby, Alberta. Later, I spent the summer working at a ranch camp and then headed out to another drilling company that I worked with for a year and a half. It was in this time when I first realized that I might like to be a mud man in the oil and gas industry. I later moved to Grande Prairie, Alberta to work and do a few projects with a local musician, and soon after was hired by a company and sent to Houston, Texas to train for a mud man position. I've continued to live in Grande Prairie, have re- cently gotten married and continue to work as a mud man in the oil and gas industry, as well as taking the time to create poems and songs reflecting my experiences.
