| Directions: | Walking for more than three or four hours in a day has been a rare occurrence in my life. Yesterday I walked for more than three and a half hours for, arguably, the forth time in my life. I say "arguably" because when one gets into late adulthood and early years of life get a little hazy in some respects. I tried to recall the other times: Wittenoom in the Hammersley Range in 1986/7? Algonguin Park in 1970/1? Perhaps in Burlington in southern Ontario when I was growing up, say, about 1962/3? Yesterday my wife Chris, Daniel my son and my wife's sister, Barbara, walked from Badger's Head to Little Badger's Head on a cold windy day near the end of winter. -Ron Price, Pioneering Over Four Epochs, 19 August 2001. The true subject of serious poetry is, for me, not current events, ongoing wars or political issues, but the expression, the definition, the description of my home which flows from my experience, imagination, memory, comprehension, the arc of my life with its warps, gaps, gasps of enthusiasm and concern, a respect for my human trajectory lapping as it does the years of a new millennium, one of history's climacterics. There has been a growing confidence in my ability as the millennium approached, an assurance which defended me against a distant indifference, a gathering faith in my talent, regularity and self-ordered patterns and creativity finally and sharply focused on the creative word. ________________________ |
