The Beginning of the Long Dash

by Sharon Thesen

The Beginning of the Long Dash is a wonderful exploration of the poet in her landscape, focused intentionally on her home and family, the landlord’s flower garden, the neighbours, Jehovah’s Witnesses, local dogs, the Pest Control Operator or the novels on the bed – while the more formal city of Expo ’86 exhibits itself in the distance. Within this small canvas Sharon Thesen pans the water for what will last or be remembered.
