Pitts In the memoir which begins this book, Michael Pitts, retired Dean of Christ Church Cathedral, Montreal, looks back over a multi-colored life in active ministry that took him from England to Finland and Russia, Sweden and France to Canada and the remote north coast of Quebec.

Congratulations to Phoenicia author Luisa A. Igloria, the new Poet Laureate of Virginia!
We are thrilled to congratulate poet Luisa A. Igloria on the fantastic news that she's just been appointed Poet Laureate of Virginia! Having followed Luisa's work (and her practice of writing a poem every single day) since the early years of editing qarrtsiluni with Dave Bonta, having published two of her books, and knowing her as a person, dedicated teacher and tireless, generous advocate for poetry itself, we can't imagine anyone more deserving of this honor. Luisa, we know you will bring dignity and excellence to your work as Poet Laureate, and we are so proud of you! Huge congratulations!
The Creative Spirit: Gildas Berthelot, Sculptor
Le processus créatif : Gildas Berthelot, sculpteur by/par Jonathan Sa'adah black & white photographs, bilingual text (French / English) photographies noir et blanc, texte bilingue (français / anglais) In October, in conjunction with their joint exhibition in Montreal, Phoenicia released a new book of photographs by Jonathan Sa'adah, capturing the creative process of Gildas Berthelot. The French-born sculptor, who lives in Montreal and works in wood, makes large pieces of fantastic shape that blur the boundaries between furniture and sculpture. His process is intense, physically demanding, and astounding, as planks of hardwood are transformed into organic forms. The bilingual book includes two interviews, one with the photographer and one with the sculptor, about this project and their approach to their work. The book is now available. Finalist for the Banff Mountain Book Awards!
