(and mom.  and her twin sis!)

in honour of her 141st, i dug up this poem i wrote, contemplating the country i love, as a travel-weary young buck in the late 90s after spending some serious time in the middle east.

my home and native

what a country
I love to call it my home
your red and white have
gone with me
strapped to my back
anticipating my return
longing for fresh air
mountains, eh
be a nation of peace
be a nation of one God
oh, canada

I’m excited to announce that my play Shelter will be read at Nextfest in Edmonton on Sunday, June 8, 2008 at 2PM. Tanya Ryga is directing the reading with an incredible cast of actors! The play is about potatoes, an affair and grace.

Nextfest is an “11 day celebration of music, theatre, dance, film, visual art and much, much more from the hottest up-and-coming artists from Edmonton and beyond.”

Shelter was an official selection of the 2007 Scripts at Work in Red Deer and will be the second of three plays to be read on Sunday at Conrad’s Sugar Bowl on 10724 124 ST. (Visit the site for maps and the full festival schedule.)

Come and check it out and be part of the continued journey of Shelter!
