Beside the road the snow fence stands
And holds the snow in slatty hands.
Once our humanity did hold
A dove of white, a boy of gold.
James Reaney, 1960


Poet, Playwright, and Artist (1926 – 2008)
Beside the road the snow fence stands
And holds the snow in slatty hands.
Once our humanity did hold
A dove of white, a boy of gold.

All the best for the holidays and for 2015
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.
Merry Christmas and All the best for 2013!
Yes we are that too: we are everything who feel it.
Everything that has meaning has the same meaning as angels: these
hoverers and whirrers: occupied with us.
…
When the band of the moment breaks there will come angelic
recurrence.
— Colleen Thibaudeau Reaney, from “This Elastic Moment”
All the best for the holidays and for 2012
