Kienholz
"Richard Sanders' new work in the Spring 2016 issue of
Press for Conversion! exposes and dispels the lies that throughout
Canada's history justified its wrongdoing. As Sanders shows, these lies,
sometimes called 'myths,' hold our minds captive, preventing accurate
perception of the conditions of our existence that follow from history.
"To strip away this veil of lies exposes the frailty of the
heroes of our immaturity. Not easy work this, either in the writing or
reading, but essential in order to understand Canada, and to restore honour to
the legacy we leave for coming generations.
"The impressive compilations of
historical research and the insightful writing make this a foundational
document for the praiseworthy task."
Philip Kienholz immigrated from Minnesota to Manitoba resisting the Vietnam
war. He received a B. Arch from the University of Manitoba in 1970 and worked
as an architect for over 30 years. He now resides
in Peterborough, Ontario, and is pursuing his passions for poetry and
permaculture. Philip's book of poems, Display, will be published
in fall 2016.
