Kate Braid has been powerfully attracted to Emily Carr--as a woman of great courage and perseverance, as a passionate painter and a memorable writer. And without doubt Emily Carr--who never could abide sycophantic flattery--would have recognized a sympathetic spirit in the strength, unadorned directness and clarity of these poems which she inspired Kate to write. In coupling quotations from Carr's Journals with her own vibrant poetry, Braid has created a wonderful book. --Doris Shadbolt Author of The Art of Emily Carr
