Lit Fest Brochure 1 Welcome to th e 6th annual Galiano Literary Festival! Once again we are thrilled to welcome both returning and first-time participants to the Galiano Literary Festival. We hope you will agree that this year’s lineup of authors is our best yet. Many of our authors this year explore environmental issues but that’s just a part of the wide array of works our authors will be sharing with all of you. From swashbuckling action to historical novels to science fiction to poetry, non-fiction and biography with lots of stops along the way, this year’s writers cover all the bases in book topics. They also represent a wide range of backgrounds and experience from first-time authors to those with dozens of books to their credit. The readings and panels will, we believe, prove stimulating and enjoyable. However, the best parts of the Festival are those times when authors and readers meet together over a glass of wine or delicious meal in the homey and intimate environment of the Galiano Oceanfront Inn. It is our hope that you will leave the Festival having found some new books and authors to read and having connected and reconnected with other readers and writers who share your passion for books. We also hope that you will take the time to enjoy Galiano Island itself by sampling some of our fine eateries, visiting the many art and crafts galleries or, simply, taking a tranquil stroll along the beach or through the woods. Thank you for joining us. We look forward to meeting each of you and hope that you find your visit to the Festival a fulfilling and enjoyable experience. Lee and Jim – and th e staff at Galiano Island Books Jim Schmidt and Lee Trentadue opened Galiano Island Books in 1997.

Consul Maria João Boavida / Shore to Shore Panel More than 162 years ago the Coast Salish people accepted into their lives a young Portuguese whaler, “Portuguese Joe” Silvey, with whom they shared their powerful culture based on respect for the rich harvests yielded by the land and sea. “Portuguese Joe” Silvey and his first and second Coast Salish wives are honoured in a monumental bronze sculpture entitled Shore to Shore carved by master carver Ts’uts’umutl Luke Marston. This panel celebrates the shared First Nations and Portuguese perspectives on that early collaboration between these two resource-based cultures on Galiano Island and the lower mainland. Shore to Shore: The Art of Ts’uts’umutl Luke Marston by Galiano author Suzanne Fournier, master carver Luke Marston, Squamish hereditary Chief Ian Campbell, Rosemary Georgeson, a descendent of Portuguese Joe Silvey, and Portuguese Consul Maria João Boavida. 5 George Bowering, Canada’s first Poet Laureate, was born in the Okanagan Valley.

This Dissertation may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee Serious Play: Alden Nowlan, Leo Ferrari, Gwendolyn MacEwen, and their Flat Earth Society by David Eso B.A., University of British Columbia, 2004 M.A., University of Calgary, 2015 Supervisory Committee Iain Higgins, English Supervisor Eric Miller, English Departmental Member Heather Dean, UVic Libraries Outside Member Neil Besner, University of Winnipeg Additional Member iii Abstract This dissertation concerns the satirical Flat Earth Society (FES) founded at Fredericton, New Brunswick in November 1970. The essay’s successive chapters examine the lives and literary works of three understudied authors who held leadership positions in this critically unserious, fringe society: FES Symposiarch Alden Nowlan; the Society’s President Leo Ferrari; and its First Vice-President Gwendolyn MacEwen. Therefore, my project constitutes an act of recovery and reconstruction, bringing to light cultural work and literary connections that have largely faded from view. Chapters show how certain literary writings by Nowlan, Ferrari, or MacEwen directly or indirectly relate to their involvement with FES, making the Society an important part of their cultural work rather than a mere entertainment, distraction, or hoax.

The Writers’ Union of Canada (1973) and Studies in Canadian Literature (1976) were motivated by a similar impulse. The 1970s financial crisis at McClelland and Stewart, then the major publisher of Canadian writing, threatened writers and readers alike and galvanized writers into forming a professional organization.1 As I recall, Desmond Pacey of the University of New Brunswick, a scholar, writer, and the established critic of Creative Writing in Canada: A Short History of English-Canadian Literature (1952), was one of the founding mem- bers of the Writers’ Union and, in the early 1970s, VP Academic at the university.

  • Aspects of Heroism and Evolution in Some Poems / by E.J. Pratt.
    ASPECTS OF HEROISM AND EVOLUTION IN SOrJlE POEMS BY E* Jm PRATT by Fred Mensch B.A., University of Lethbridge, 1968 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of English @ FRED MENSCH 19'72 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY August 1972 APPROVAL Name : Fred Mensch Degree: Master of Arts Title of Thesis: Aspects of Heroism and Evolution in Some Poems by E.J. Pratt Examining Committee: Chairman: Dr. S .A. Black Dr. Sdidra'A. Djwa Senior Supervisor Prof. Gordon R. Elliott - -- Dr. Bruce H. hesbitt TI/DTG-.$t ephens Associate Professor of English University of British Columbia Vancouver, B .C . Date Approved : August 1, 1972 ABSTRACT A study of Pratt's poetry reveals heroism as existing only in relation to an evolutionary metaphor that shows organic life progressing from an amoral environment to an ever more differentiated society. Man is heroic if he can establish, in his opposition to the environment, an order that is based on ethics and a "brotherhood of man" as well as on strong, instinctual emotions that keep him aware--consciously or unconsciously-- of his evolutionary origins. If man loses this awareness he loses his sense of identification with nature and exists within the illusion that the environment can no longer seriously affect him. The cost of this illusion is destruction, because at some time man must confront his environment, and if he has no feeling for it "in the bloodw, he has no effective means of coping with it. The most significant factor defining heroism is the ability to integrate uninhibited emotion with ethical compassion.

    CAITLIN PRESS WHERE URBAN MEETS RURAL & HOME OF DAGGER EDITIONS FALL 2020 Mary Jayne Blackmore Vera Maloff Claire Finlayson Cathy Sosnowsky Kate Braid Mary MacDonald Shannon McConnell Jane Byers Kelly Rose Pflug-Back PRAISE FOR OUR BOOKS “A compelling, thoroughly researched tale of love and death on the BC prairie. Reimer’s book [The Trials of Albert Stroebel] is a gift to history nerds and true-crime lovers alike” —Jesse Donaldson “Accepting yourself at every size? That means rejecting all the whispered edicts of Eurowestern society and the out-loud abuse of strangers. That’s a BIG project. And one worth documenting. As a BIG girl myself, I NEEDED all the stories in [BIG: Stories about Life in Plus-Sized Bodies], from the sad-stark-raging to the joyful-triumphant-funny.” —Ariel Gordon “Furs and gold may dominate BC’s modern creation narrative, but it was the packtrain that made it possible. ... Cataline: The Life of BC’s Legendary Packer is a remarkable window into that astonishing period of the province’s history, and what a story it is!” —Stephen Hume “A compulsively readable novel, The Kissing Fence is a story about resilience and resistance in the face of a shameful, nearly forgotten episode in Canadian history. Insightful and sensitively told, it is a timely story that serves to remind us of the destructive multigenerational effects of the forced assimilation of children.” —Iona Whishaw “Let your soul come to rest in this haunting book as you take a quiet journey to a watershed that someone cherishes. Sweet Water examines our relationship to water in all its forms by the best poets among us and powerfully reminds us of our dependence on this precious life force.
