Dinosaur Hour, as a collection is concerned with the violence in nature, but also how articulating violence done to or by nature provided a relief from the strongest doubts of life, presenting a fresh, 21st century ars poetica response to the Romantic view of landscape holding all truths.
Poem after poem, Roy presents imagery of a brutal (or brutalized) landscape against which humans are silent, ambivalent, and torn. His pastoral violence emerges as the most apt articulation in the speaker's interactions with others and with his own memories, anxieties around the passage of time, and concerns about what happens after this life ends.
