Poet, Playwright, and Artist (1926 – 2008)
On his birthday there is a blue sky
In the swale there’s clear ice
Two boys skate an X, the Greek letter Chi
Because it stands for Christ
MERRY CHRISTMAS
from the Reaneys
1965
James Reaney made this linocut design in December 1965 and printed a set of Christmas cards for friends and family at the Alphabet Press in London, Ontario.
