1 comments about Opposite Contraries: The Unknown Journals of Emily Carr and Other Writings.
- Award-winning author and cultural critic Susan Crean gathers previously unpublished writings from Emily Carr's journals, notebooks, and epistles, as well as 42,000 words from Carr's previously published journals for inclusion into Opposite Contraries: The Unknown Journals Of Emily Carr And Other Writings. An absorbing and eclectic collection of discourse, the entries range from Carr's father's no-nonsense rendition of the facts of life, to the complete text of Carr's 1913 "Lecture on Totems" concerning Native imagery and Native people, Opposite Contraries is highly recommended -- especially for students of the life and work of Emily Carr, who although best known as an extraordinary painter, was also the author of seven quite popular and critically praised books.

1 comments about From the Land of Shadows.
- "The life and history of Grey OWL, without Donald B. Smith, is only conjecture." Donald, without a beat takes the reader, from the get go, into a detailed , informative , and throughly documented decription of the life of Archibald Stansfeld Belaney. Like a bible to a preacher, this work is replete with fascinating and delightful insights into a most remarkable character who did, in fact, realize a fantacy. The story of Grey Owl is complex, full of adventure, and quite exciting. Like most men he had some peculiar behavior traits; however, Donald Smith does a sensitive and objective analysis which offers the reader the opportunity to make up his or her mind as to the motives and desires of Grey Owl's heart, mind and inner spirit. The book is so well documented it brings to mind the thought that this work is a masterpiece, and if one has the opportunity to experience the Canada that Grey Owl describes, he or she will come to appreciate, the effort put forth by the author is a work, couched in love; e.g., every question I have raised in the pursuit of the Grey Owl Saga, can be found directly or by implication in this book. I was so moved by it I contacted the author personally. If one desires, especially if he or she has read any or all of Grey Owl's books, to know the facts concerning any and all aspects of his life (G.O.), simply read, and have handy Donald's book, as it will guide you to a deeper appreciation of Grey Owl and his marvelous accomplishments. I am a better person for having read 'From the Land of Shadows' five times. Rich Gralewski, Pres. Jelly Roll Enterprises Santa Barbara, Ca. USA
