Review

"The multiplicity of voices, points of view, and backgrounds in this collection produces the effects of a bright patchwork quilt." Elaine Kalman Naves, author of Shoshanna's Story "A diverse collection, representing a broad spectrum of Canadian society ... Double Lives will appeal to anyone, male or female, trying to balance creative work with parenting." Susan Glickman, author of The Violin Lover

Book Description

In Double Lives, the first Canadian literary anthology focusing on mothering and writing, twenty-two writers, who range in reputation from seasoned professionals to noteworthy new talents, reveal the intimate challenges and private rewards of nurturing children while pursuing the passion to write. Varying widely in age, marital status, sexual orientation, culture/ethnicity, and philosophical stance, authors such as Di Brandt, Stephanie Bolster, Linda Spalding, Janice Kulyk Keefer, Sharron Proulx-Turner, Sally Ito Rachel Rose and Susan Olding, make significant and illuminating contributions to our understanding of how writer and mother co-exist.
