Soft cover. Etat : As New. 1st Edition. Between the Silences invites us to sit in the back row of Family and Youth Court, where important decisions are made every day - decisions that can affect our children, our families, our friends, our neighbours, our communities. The fortunate among us will never be inside a courthouse. But Diane Buchanan takes us there with her poetry. Writing with the heart of a woman who is both nurse and mother, she uses poetry not to lull us but to wake us up. In a series of word snapshots and evocative portraits she creates a collage of images both thought-provoking and heartrending. Between the Silences reveals that strange and poignant world on the other side of the courthouse door. As New, An Unread Copy. - No Notes, Names or Markings. No Torn Or Folded Pages.

Please See All Photos. ~ These poems were taken from a diary of poems and sketches kept over forty years.

When analysis fails, as it always does, the poet slips back again inside his skin. It is a journey to no place except home.…

Soft cover. Etat : As New. 1st Edition. As New. May Have Minor Shelf Wear To Edges And/Or Turned Corners. - For More Information On Condition. Please See All Photos. ~ In Learning to Count, Douglas Burnet Smith explores the counterpoint between everyday, often innocent, experiences and the darker elegiac tones of history. The lyricism of Tuscany's sublime skies merges into J.M.W. Turner's obsession with clouds and the author's own retracing of Turner's sources of inspiration. Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, Louis Riel, Giuseppe Garibaldi, Benito Mussolini, Robert Desnos, Napoleon and a contemplative lizard on a Corsican mountainside all have their roles to play. In brutal contrast, the author, taking his own child to a school in France, encounters horrifying evidence of the murder of hundreds of children by French Nazi collaborators. But throughout, Smith measures the impact of his encounters with distinctly Canadian insight and awareness. And so finally the journey returns home, to Canada, to Halifax, Nova Scotia, where Pablo Picasso magically leads a naked chorus line through the streets of the city. The journey has been exhilarating, exhausting, at times almost unbearable - but always, always magical. Signed by Author(s).…
