Home 2013-03-21 Leslie Morgenson writes from experience and observation about home, about homelessness. Whimsical images of tree houses, in etchings by Michelle Purchase, suggest other housing possibilities. Morgenson, Leslie Purchase, Michelle

With Books 2012-12-20 Marianne Brandis writes about her life with books, from a childhood in Holland during the Second World War, through her adolescence in British Columbia, to her adult life as a writer and reader. She explores the multi-layered nuances of silent and of voiced reading. Paul Roorda's book-like encaustic drawings bring to mind the book as physical object, rich as they are with culturally significant marks and images. Brandis, Marianne Roorda, Paul

Homegrown and Handmade 2012-11-22 Karin Kliewer's essay records the adventure of creating a small family farm within the city limits of Kitchener, Ontario. She and her family have learned to live by the mantra,"Make or make do." Diane Eastham has also chosen a life of making, in the form of mixed media and fibre art pieces, characterised by close attention to detail and elegant lines. Eastham, Diane Kliewer, Karin

Toronto, Toronto 2012-09-30 Jon Tobin's plein air paintings and Bruce Lumsden's lyrics create a sense of nostalgia. The paintings are postmodern in their verging on abstraction, but they have a look of the Old Masters. Lumsden's poems explore memories of a boyhood in Toronto, through the 1940's and 50's. Each one is rich in narrative and insight. Lumsden, Bruce Tobin, Jon

This Soil, This Water 2011-11-01 Susan Hodges Bryant records the struggles which APT (Assuring Protection for Tomorrow's Environment) took on with an uncaring corporate culture at Uniroyal Chemical (now Chemtura) and a distant, preoccupied Ministry of the Environment, challenging the company's right to pollute the land, water and aquifers around Elmira, Ontario, with deadly chemicals. This text is based on a presentation she made in 2001 to the judge in the Walkerton Inquiry water hearings. Edward Schleimer's watercolour paintings remind us of the possibilities of creative, respectful observation of the same environment. In the spaces between text and paintings, a reader has room to make connections, to remember the fragility not only of these flowers and grasses but of the soil and water which create them. Hodges Bryant, Susan Schleimer, Edward
