In 2001, the International Year of the Poet, P K Page's 'Planet Earth', based on lines by Pablo Neruda was sent into space by the United Nations. Poets, critics, and friends have contributed to this collection about her working life and reveal facets of this enigmatic writer whose glittering surfaces reconcile the mysteries within and without.
Born in Canada to parents who emigrated from the Caribbean, P.K. Subban is a remarkable athlete and role model. A talent on the ice, playing for some of the best teams in the NHL, P.K. has set records and won the Norris Trophy, the highest honour in hockey for a defenceman. Often the centre of controversy, at one time named one of the most hated hockey players in the NHL for his outspoken attitude, he is the pride of many fans across Canada and a hero to young athletes of colour. His stand against racism relies more on actions to support others than on relating his own experiences. He is known to have made the largest donation to charity by a Canadian athlete in history, and works to build an understanding between at-risk youth and law enforcement across North America. P.K.'s story has evolved into an incredible family story of three first-generation-born-in-Canada brothers who, starting with P.K., all were drafted into the NHL. P.K. and his siblings were brought up to work hard to make their dreams come true by a father who taught in one of the toughest neighbourhoods in Toronto. A philanthropic thinker, a media favourite and force to be reckoned with on the ice — this is P.K. Subban.
The Franchise series explores these athletes' stories, taking readers into the players' lives on and off the field of play. Learn about your favorite athletes' early days, the challenges they've overcome to reach the top, and the qualities that make them truly incomparable.
At an early age, P. K. Page/Irwin displayed an aptitude for illustration, and even her juvenalia indicated a sharp, painterly eye. But it wasn’t until she visited Brazil in the 1950s as wife of the Canadian ambassador, that she began to hone her artistic practice. Under her married name, P. K. Irwin, she produced a wide array of paintings, drawings and other artworks, experimenting with media and styles as she sought to develop her own visual aesthetic, and to reconcile her celebrated poetic identity with her more private, painterly one. In The Art of P. K. Irwin, Michèle Rackham Hall investigates the artist’s creative development and examines the exotic locales and the wealth of accomplished peers who helped shape Irwin’s artistic output. With rich biographical detail and extensive reference to Irwin’s lyrical life writing, The Art of P. K. Irwin takes readers along on the artist’s journey toward her own aesthetic, one in which "place was her most potent muse, and exile her most fertile state."
This is my story; how I came from a good Christian home and my perspective as a PK; of what it is to have Pastors for parents and the pragmatic challenges that are rarely talked about. I share chilling accounts of what goes on in a PK home that should be read by all. I am transparent in sharing my experience in hopes of bringing awareness to others about Pastors and family life. What should have been a good, happy, balanced life being brought up in church and knowing better, went quite the opposite. I left my faith and lived a life with alcohol, drugs and a life of promiscuity. I later married my husband, who was a powerful ring leader of this ruthless prison gang. My activities inevitably ended me in jail with charges that should have left me to do life without. I should have died, but God had a purpose and a plan for my life all along.
