About The Salmon Shanties. . .A collection of shanties (songs) laid out in couplets that move between English and Chinook Wawa, The Salmon Shanties celebrates a poetic tradition deeply rooted on the West Coast. Harold Rhenisch explores memories of people, place, and of returning home, speaking the land’s names as a music of its own and creating a series of aural maps.
Imbued with rhythms of Secwepemc grass dances, the colloquial chatter of the Canadian poet Al Purdy, and the voice of poet and historian Charles Lillard, Rhenisch’s work sings of roots to the land lifted up by the sea into the sky—as if Ezra Pound had sung of Cascadia instead of Europe.
Do not be in Mareuil and Périgeux tonight; it is 1912 no longer.
We, the land’s singers, are walking the star road on the long way home
with the crickets of a July evening above Tuc el Nuit,
the burrowing owls of N’kmp,
and the long memories of the dwarf shrews of Nighthawk.
Breath cannot be denied. Poh cannot be forsaken. Ezra, shantie. Harold Rhenisch has published 33 books of poetry, fiction, memoir, translation, criticism and nonfiction since 1981. He has twice won both the CBC Prize and the Malahat Review Long Poem Prize and received the George Ryga Prize for Social Responsibility in Literature.

Its an incredible art gallery that showcases the brilliance of Dale Chihuly&rsquo;s work. The vibrant combination of colors and glass creates a mesmerizing experience, truly highlighting the artist&rsquo;s creative genius.

The learning atmosphere is great, and it is a good university for studying. The cost-effectiveness of tuition fees can be improved... Children can come here for summer camps to experience the atmosphere of a world-renowned university. The natural scenery here is also great. You can sit on the grass and read quietly under the blue sky on weekends...
