I Vow To Resist The Urge To Cash The Cheque And Head Straight For The Track
It won't be easy, let me tell you. So, to balance things out, I will not resist the urge to be completely insufferable about it, mindful of course that my good fortune comes mainly from having merely noticed that culture and nature, human aspiration, natural beauty, language, history and social justice are inextricably intertwined.
I'm chuffed that my peers would also seem to agree that there is virtue in seeing that the voices of the proletariat are still heard in the land, and that writers of non-fiction should be recognized along with those involved in the production of poems and novels. It's mainly in those related trades that you'll find my predecessors: Gary Geddes. Patrick Lane. Jack Hodgins. Robert Bringhurst. P.K Page.
Damn fine company, and do notice: We are all islanders. Plus, at the event I get to sit beside the logger, rig slinger, Sto:lo grand chief and judge, Stephen Point, my commander in chief.

I am a palestinian kurdish tamil and you by your writings has made me a jewish nazi.
Give me my humus. We all invented it. Apart from the garlic.
Thanks everybody. And Will:
If you love HumuS so mUCh why don't you go lIve there?
Not in my name.
Actually, if you like Hummus Will, make it yer bloody self. It's easier to make than scratching your arse for pete's sakes.
Hmmmm....native dude in gold braid. Does he get a big white feather in his hat too?
That may be a deeply unfair question but twenty years plus in Canada is leaving me a cynic some days.
Waaay too much poverty in the resource colonies...and no shortage of the Federally created and protected elites.
Congrats, Terry.
