Multi-person recitation of Lorenzo Buj's poem "The Rogue Remembers" (2023 version), as spoken by a fictional persona looking back at the Windsor-Detroit punk scene of the early 1980s. All who appear in the video were original members of the scene, which, in terms of its Canadian cohort, centered on Coronation ‘tavens'. Reciters are identified in the end credits. Scattered throughout the poem are references to UK & US punk bands, album titles, subcultural groupings, Windsor-Detroit club names, and glam/rock figures of the seventies and eighties, as well as a steady supply of literary allusions and topical grumblings on life and society in the opening decades of the third millennium.
