Q: Who or what particularly influenced you in writing The Frog Lake Reader?
A: I didn’t so much write it as compose it, arranging in a dramatic narrative all the different – and contradictory – voices that have told the story from eye-witnesses to today’s poets and fiction writers. I was influenced by all their voices but behind them lay the reading I had already done along the way: Rudy Wiebe’s Temptation of Big Bear, Andy Suknaski’s Wood Mountain Poems, Margaret Laurence’s The Diviners.
