Dorothy, Earle & Al (from David Day)

Many thanks, David,  for these pieces of CanPo history  :  )
I'm forwarding them to Marvin Orbach*, who is archiving a lot of CanPo material for the Univ. of Calgary special collections.
I'm also sending it on to other PurdyFesters, both for their enjoyment & as a reminder of this summer's activities.

Trust all well with you (?) ... all fine out here in the boonies ... George Miller visited several times recently, house hunting
for a rural retreat - sure hope he moves out here to keep us rednecks company & tame us down a notch!

We're making some progress on the second Mosaic book on Milt - a 'Gedenkschrift' - a tribute collection - part critical
analysis, part scrapbook, part memoir, part loveletter ...  Do you have any memories/poems/??? of Milt you'd like to contribute?
The other editors are Terry Barker, Anna Yin, Bruce Meyer.

peace &poetry power!
Chris ... & Chase Wrffffffffffffffffff! (just hobbled back from a great spring walk on Marble Point overlooking Crowe Lake)

* I'm Marvin's main 'Judas goat' re soliciting stuff for his special collections - donations always appreciated - thanks for these!

Hi Chris

I was going through some papers and found a piece I wrote for the 35th Anniversary of Dorothy Livesay's CVII magazine and thought you might like it for your Dorothy themed Purdy Fest this year.

Also I came across this photo of Earle Birney and Al Purdy at one of my book launches in Toronto in 1983 which you might like for your Purdy archive.

All the best
David
