Care of : letters, connections, and cures / by Coyote, Ivan,1969-author.;
"In the early days of the coronavirus lockdown, like every artist and creator, writer and storyteller Ivan Coyote was faced with a calendar full of cancelled shows and a heart full of questions that all rhymed with what now? To keep busy while figuring out what to write about next, Ivan began to answer the backlog of mail and correspondences that had come in while they were on the pre-pandemic road: emails, letters, direct messages on social media, soggy handwritten notes found tucked under the windshield wiper of their car after a gig, all of it. In Care Of, Coyote combines the most moving and powerful of these letters with the responses they've sent in the months since the lockdown. Taken together, they become an affirming and joyous reflection on many of the themes and ideas central to Coyote's beloved work as an author and storyteller--a giant love letter to the idea of human connection and the power of truly listening to each other"--

Book of lives : a memoir of sorts / by Atwood, Margaret,1939-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The long-awaited memoir of one of the most lauded and influential writers of our time, from her peripatetic childhood in Northern Ontario, through the writing of her seminal novel The Handmaid's Tale in occupied East Berlin, to her position today as revered truth-teller and literary icon. From the moment she published her first collection of poetry in 1966 -- sweeping up our most prestigious literary award while still a graduate student in Victorian literature at Harvard -- Margaret Atwood has been ahead of her time. Raised by ruggedly independent, scientifically minded parents (her father was a forest entomologist, her mother a former schoolteacher), Atwood spent half of every year in the deep forests of Quebec, living in tents or in houses hand-hewn by her father. Thrilling and unfettered, it was also isolating (on celebrating her eighth birthday: "It sounds forlorn. It was forlorn. It gets more forlorn.") and occasionally terrifying (alone for days with a 42-year-old pregnant mother, with no means of transportation or communication). From this unconventional origin, Atwood unspools her life story, linking seminal moments to the books that have shaped the literary landscapes of our time, from the cruel year that spawned Cat's Eye to the Orwellian 1980s of Berlin, where conversations between writers were quickly ushered outdoors to evade the listening devices in any Westerner's home or hotel room. Chronicling oddball early jobs (teaching English to engineering students in a Quonset hut), a faltering early marriage, the bohemian gatherings and literary infighting of a generation of writers finding their voice, to her magical life with the wildly charismatic writer Graeme Gibson and their only daughter, Atwood shares the stories, anecdotes, behind-the-scenes machinations, and turning points that have made her one of the most important writers of her era"--

Blacks in Canada : a history / by Winks, Robin W.,author.; Clarke, George Elliott,writer of introduction.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Blacks in Canada journeys from the introduction of slavery in 1628 to the first wave of Caribbean immigration in the 1950s and 1960s. Heralded in the Literary Review of Canada as one of the one hundred most important Canadian books, this enduring work by Yale University's Robin W. Winks offers a wealth of information for fresh interpretation. Now, fifty years from its original printing, this third edition includes a foreword by George Elliott Clarke, E.J. Pratt Professor of Canadian Literature at the University of Toronto. Clarke's contribution adds a necessary critical lens through which twenty-first-century readers should view Winks's research. The longevity of Blacks in Canada is due to an impressive array of primary and secondary materials that illuminate the experiences of Black immigrants to Canada. These experiences include the forced migration of enslaved Black people brought to Nova Scotia and the Canadas by Loyalists at the end of the American Revolution, Black refugees who fled to Nova Scotia following the War of 1812, Jamaican Maroons, and fugitive slaves who fled to British North America. The book also highlights Black West Coast businessmen who helped found British Columbia, particularly Victoria, and Black settlement in the prairie provinces. Crucially, Blacks in Canada investigates the French and English periods of slavery, the abolitionist movement in Canada, and the role played by Canadians in the broader continental antislavery crusade, as well as Canadian adaptations to nineteenth- and twentieth-century racial mores.
