The title for That Isn't You is inspired by a comment made by my mother concerning a video transcribed from an old eight-millimeter film.

Variations on Herb is the latest in a lengthening series of books that emanate from the south-western Ontario farm of John B. Lee's childhood. The focus of Variations is Herb Lee, John B's grandfather (and an absolutely unforgettable curmudgeon) but the background of rural Ontario is also made palpable entirely without indulgent explanation.

The last blacksmith of the village joins the casket maker, the milkman, the traveling salesman, the TV repair man, the elevator operator, the mill worker, the night soil man, and the home guard all of whom teach us to attend to our own times, and to how we are shaped and formed by the e...

By & By brings together two Canadian poetry icons into one book. This is a wonderful collaboration that should never be forget. Two sets of poems by two fine Canadian authors, a Professor Emeritus and a Poet Laureate bring Canadian culture a boost of poetic virtuosity. Both fine wordsmiths, both playing the tune, "In the Sweet By and By" about past and present. Once you have read this fine collection you will be able to say, by and by I read a...
