Hey, OAFers!
I know I haven’t been around the site much in the past while, but I can now, finally, share why!
A new book has been birthed!
These Are the People in Your Neighbourhood is the legacy project of Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada’s Poet Laureate Jordan Trethewey. Trethewey spent two years collecting personal stories from willing participants, then turned his notes and thoughts into personalized poems for roughly 80 citizens. What emerges are universal stories of love, loss, longing, work, leisure, birth, death, near-death, and even pets. The result is a book that captures the diversity and spirit of any small city, not just Fredericton. Also included are Trethewey’s poems written specifically for Fredericton City Council. They express the concerns of a growing multicultural metropolis, and subjects everyone loves, like Christmas. These Are the People in Your Neighbourhood, also includes beautiful ink and watercolour cityscapes by Fredericton artist Eva Christensen.
