  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

  I respectfully acknowledge that I wrote this book on Treaty 7 territory, traditional lands of First Nations and Métis peoples.

  Some letters in the book have appeared previously in The Copperfield Review, The Prairie Journal of Canadian Literature, and the anthology Freshwater Pearls Online (Alexandra Writers’ Centre Society). Thank you to the editors of those publications.

  Thank you to these people:

  Filomena Gomes, for conversations on Aristides de Sousa Mendes.

  Roberta Rees, for conversations on Esther Brandeau and voice.

  Madelaine Shaw Wong, for conversations on Brandeau and the Catholic religion.

  Betty Jane Hegerat, for reassurance that the book had legs.

  The Louise Riley Library staff, for friendliness and a great workspace.

  Chris Needham and Now Or Never Publishing, for belief in the book.

  Without my family’s unflagging encouragement, patience, and love, I would not have written this book or anything else. Bill Paterson, Lucy Altrows, Grace Paterson, Oliver Evans, Irwin Altrows—you have my gratitude and love.
