some comments about the piece:
“Gloriously poetic. . . . Read aloud to anyone you love.” - Vancouver Sun
“. . . a soaring alchemical vision. When I read the first few pages of A Canada of Light I had to put the book down to catch my breath . . .” - Pico Iyer, author of Cuba and the Night and The Global Soul
“Powe has discovered the roots of an informal Canadian democracy and shows us its poetry and wonder.” - The Toronto Star
“As B.W. Powe writes in his rousing [book], our nebulous identity may turn out to be a source of strength in the world of global communications.” – Toronto Life
“Highly original . . . It makes you dream about Canada.” - The Financial Post
“A new vision of Canada, freed of borders and race.” - John Ralston Saul
“Gloriously poetic…. Read aloud to anyone you love.” - The Victoria Sun
“An innovative view… a challenging meditation.” – The Edmonton Journal
“Mr. Powe opens up avenues of thought and feeling…He offers a vision of Canada that is positive and based on shared values.” – The Globe and Mail
“At a time when Canadian politicians are singularly lacking in vision, Powe seems to have it in spades.” – The Montreal Gazette
“A brilliant exercise in fine and sensitive essay writing…a call to the awakening of the Canadian soul.” – Larry Zolf
“B.W. Powe’s short book is absolutely tonic, fairly bursting with valuable ‘cultural meditations.’ Every country needs such a voice―prophetic, politically unlabelable, alert to a wide-range of cultural concerns.” – Donald Pearce, University of California, Santa Barbara
“Passionately committed…Powe embraces the noisy, interminable communication, discommunication and miscommunication of Canadian politics, and sees here a global model for nations-in-becoming…This book speaks of communications technology can enable nation-building. More importantly, the writing conveys the depth of passion required to do the job.” – The Whole Earth Review
