Her book Klee Wyck received Canada’s highest literary honor – the Governor General’s Award. Emily Carr: At the Edge of the World is an introduction to this remarkable artist and her paintings.

Emily Byrd Starr was alone in her room, in the old New Moon farmhouse at Blair Water, one stormy night in a February of the olden years before the world turned upside down. She was at that moment as perfectly happy as any human being is ever permitted to be. Aunt Elizabeth, in consideration of the coldness of the night, had allowed her to have a fire in her little fireplace--a rare favour. It was burning brightly and showering a red-golden light over the small, immaculate room, with its old-time furniture and deep-set, wide-silled windows, to whose frosted, blue-white panes the snowflakes clung in little wreaths. It lent depth and mystery to the mirror on the wall which reflected Emily as she sat coiled on the ottoman before the fire, writing, by the light of two tall, white candles--which were the only approved means of illumination at New Moon--in a brand-new, glossy, black "Jimmy-book" which Cousin Jimmy had given her that day. Emily had been very glad to get it, for she had filled the one he had given her the preceding autumn, and for over a week she had suffered acute pangs of suppression because she could not write in a nonexistent "diary."

A Year in Astoria

Autor: Emily Engdahl

She begins slowly as three first-blanched layers of the year peel away.What began as an effort to express frustrations about current affairs, the sad state of democracy and thoughts about static, apathetic lives helped me rediscover my passion for adventure, human behavior, photography, poetry and prose. Over the course of almost four years, I documented my experiences in Astoria, memories as I processed leaving my lifelong home, notes about people I met or read about, music I listened to, observations on relationships I witnessed, and ideas about the place in which I was learning to live. These words wound a way into the collection that you hold in your hands.The opportunity to weave my way through this written expression salved my soul, released demons, and uncovered connections to more beautiful humans and stories than I realized surrounded me. Words revealed who I was, who I left behind, and who I will become. "How do I know what I think until I see what I say?" ~ EM Forster
