Saviours in this Little Space for Now: Poems for Emily Carr and Vincent van Gogh

by Stephanie McKenzie

This collection brings together two great artists - Emily Carr (1871-1945) and Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890). Carr's appreciation for the First Nations of her day and Van Gogh's compassion for the impoverished seem to find a home together. So, too, do their spiritual yearnings and frustrations with societies that did not understand them. Stephanie McKenzie was born and raised in British Columbia but now lives in Corner Brook, Newfoundland. She teaches in the English Program at Grenfell Campus, Memorial University.
