And this:
Richard Harrison is the author of 6 books of poetry, among them Hero of
the Play, Big Breath of a Wish and Worthy of His Fall. Big Breath, the
latter which followed Harrison's daughter's acquisition of speech and
was nominated for the Governor-General's Poetry Award and won the City
of Calgary Book Prize in 1999. Hero of the Play (1994), poems told in
the language of hockey, was the first book of poetry launched at the
Hockey Hall of Fame. It was recently reissued in a Tenth Anniversary
Edition which includes new hockey poems written over the last decade.
Harrison's poems (translated into four languages) and essays have been
published internationally.
He'll be reading here this week....
