Walking with Oma and Alison Pick
The mentorship project with novelist-poet Alison Pick (www.alisonpick.com) through the Humber College of Creative Writing (www.humber.ca/scapa/ ) accompanied me to Africa and Tristan da Cunha. I enjoyed having the electronic company of a young author who’s written about the Holocaust and more. I started the important move towards the creative part of ‘creative non-fiction’. The original manuscript, written in art history mode, shortened and picked up much-needed dialogue. Hell, the characters all started to speak at once and I’m still sorting them out!
I’m currently in editing mode, hoping to have a version to float by literary agents later this year. Here’s the first chapter with SOME of Alison’s comments still there. Since I acted on her suggestions, you’ll find things missing. Read on to see how it works because you too might want to take Humber’s web-course, the Creative Writing Mentorship Program.

Angelika Hoerle’s Heritage

Reading and Remembrance 2012
1812-2012, History Matters
This year’s theme for Reading and Remembrance covers 200 years of Canadian history, thanks to the War of 1812-14, its inspiration. Although the lessons tie ‘days of yore’ to today’s media-savvy youth, we’ve not forgotten our current veterans. As well as 10 new entry points for educators, this year’s feature will be a Minutes Page for May’s Asian Heritage Month.

My continuing 15 seconds of fame in Tom Thomson film
West Wind: The Vision of Tom Thomson, a film by Michele Hozer and Peter Raymont, screens at the TIFF Bell Lightbox April 20-26th at 7 p.m. Friday, April 20 and Saturday, April 21 screening followed by Q&A with the filmmakers.
The film will also screen at the Lakefield Literary Festival July 20-23, 2012. Catch my 15 seconds as a talking head, filmed in the Leith Church and the Thomson homestead, Rose Hill. The film is lovingly shot and brilliantly executed. Research kudos go to Nancy Lang and Rebecca Middleton—sleuths par excellence. I love comparing notes with them.
