(From Florence Stratton who teaches literature at the University of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada):

I have finished reading your manuscript. I love its thick texture, not only the piling up of one layer of narrative on top of another, but also the way in which you have managed to weave together so many kinds of discourse… And then there is the intertextuality of your narrative. I love finding scraps of other people’s writing submerged (or sticking up) in your narrative.

(From the late Douglas Hill, writer, editor, reviewer):

More than once he quoted from Marshall McLuhan:
“A great poem is as if your experience has come to you like successive layers of glass – and the poem shines a light through all layers at once” – and then said that CARIBOU FACTORY, though not a poem, reminded him of the quote.
