Synopsis
Excerpt from The Empire Builders and Other Poems
Said the West to the East of a nation, The fruit of your loins am I, And I claim no other birthright And I own no other tie But the bond that is fixed between us And the blood that is yours and mine Yet nurture the child that is born you, Ere other arms entwine.
And the West in his youthful vigor, Wrought earnestly, soon and late, As he planted the seeds of Empire, And knotted the thongs of Fate; And the East in her home at the Gateway Mused long o'er the problem deep, For the harvest was ripe to the sickle But the reapers were fast asleep!
And she said, In my western vineyard, Where the hope of my future lies.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique literary snapshot of the formation of Canada and the lives that settled this vast, diverse landscape. Here, the experiences of settlers, immigrants, and labourers are given centre stage as they face the challenges of the wild and forge a new nation. Amid these tales of hardship, hope, and community, the book also shines a light on the economic and social inequalities of the time, the growing fight for Indigenous rights, and the complex dynamics between the newly established country and its imperial power. The author masterfully intertwines a rich tapestry of characters and their experiences, from miners and homesteaders to the wealthy elite and the disenfranchised living in poverty. Overall, this book provides a complex and evocative exploration of the very human stories that lie at the heart of nationhood.
