Take Refuge:
Colour and Light in
the Canadian Shield
JULY 2010
“Almost anything you will do seems insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.”
It was these few words that moved Claus Zindel to create an illustrated book, Refuge for the Soul — a photographic report about Sand Lake. In his heart, this beautiful wilderness lake became “home” for him many years ago and he hopes it will remain so for many years to come.
THERE IS NOTHING
ORDINARY ABOUT
THIS RAG
June 2010
Maple Leaf Rag is a dynamic, jazz-infused riff on Canadian culture. With rhythm and edge, Kaie Kellough’s verbal soundscape explores belonging, dislocation and relocation, and national identity from a black Canadian perspective. This collection of poems is both written word and musical score — a dictated dub replete with references to African Canadian and African American culture (current and dated), Canadian history and politics, and characters ranging from dancers to piano players to boxers.
