Dance More Often
 
Jennifer Frankum's second collection of poetry.

As daughter, granddaughter, teacher, traveller, mother, wife and lover, Jennifer Frankum lets us hear the remembered melodies of her life.

Mourning, yet moving on from her mother’s death, she expresses both sadness and wonder in poetry that invites readers to turn their backs on everydayness of dust bunnies, difficult partings, and dying grandmothers to dance more often.


A perfect gift book for mothers, daughters, and the men who love them.

      64 pages        $13.50 plus GST in Canada  ISBN 1-896922-28-7   978-1-896922-28-7


Two of the poems from Dance More Often have been provided for your enjoyment.




Elements of Grace
 
Dawna Proudman's first collection of poetry

Arranged in four sections: Fire, Water, Earth, and Air, these poems contrast the wry heat of emotion with the warmth of kitchen comforts. 
While honouring the shades, fears, and griefs of life, Dawna Proudman's words speak of redemption, healing, and finally, contentment.

FrontRunners Niigaanibatowaad
 
by Laura Robinson
 
This powerful two-act play reveals the hidden story of the Aboriginal runners who carried the torch to the 1967 Pan-American Games at Winnipeg. Denied access to the stadium at that time, in 1999 the surviving runners received an apology from the Province and a standing ovation from the crowd. Laura Robinson has worked closely with surviving frontrunners to create a script that begins when they were boys in residential school. The play forms the basis for the film of the same title, to be distributed by the NFB.


The book includes full text of the script, the playwright’s notes, cast lists, and still photographs. 

 FrontRunners on DVD is now distributed through the National Film Board.
