Caroline Davidson can capture in Emily Dickinson brevity the pathos of six partying boys lost in Lake Ontario. While Roger Nash, a philosopher, meditates in rich metaphors on settings and situations of his frequent travels to the Middle East and Asia.
Sonja Dunn finds the cycle of continuing in life cameos. With musical wordplays and syllable sound effects, Governor General Award winner, James Reaney teases and taunts you with his insights: "two sides of a breath".
Bernice Lever tangles cliches and conversational comments in sly recordings until the "everyday" is luminous. Guggenheim awardee, Robert Sward sculpts contemporary dialogue and details into biting biographies.
These wry, poetic portraits are antidotes for North America's current Uncivilization.
