SECOND WIND

POEMS by LAURIE LEWIS

In this insightful, moving, and often very funny collection, Laurie Lewis reflects on all that a long and at times difficult life has offered her, with an honesty that will knock you flat. From the mundane to the sublime, she allows nothing to escape notice … a further reveal – this time in poetic form – of her intelligence, her cheeky wit, and her incomparable vision.
–    Carolyn Smart, author of Hooked and Careen

ASK AROUND: The Larger-Than-Life Story of Impresario Murray Farr

by Maureen Farr-Eagan

MURRAY FARR, the subject of this intimate biography by his sister, Maureen, was born in Regina in 1942 and died in LaHave, Nova Scotia, in 1992. He was a tour director, consultant, presenter, impresario, director of Halifax’s Dalhousie Arts Centre, managing director for the Chimera Foundation for Dance in New York, consultant for the Dance Section of the Canada Council, promoter and advisor for various dance and theatre companies ... This is a short list. There’s much more. He was a social activist and a member of several human-rights groups in the 1960s and 1970s. He was a leader. He was fun. Funny. Smart. Compassionate. He was formidable. He laughed with such volume and intensity you could feel the universe jiggling ...
