P122 The Last Wilderness: Carole Harmon

“ I’m working in that part of Canada which stands on end.”

Byron Harmon

What is wild?

This question underlies Carole Harmon’s inquiry into the role her family played in the colonial history of western North America, specifically the Pacific Northwest in the USA and the Canadian Rockies.

The Last Wilderness centres on her paternal grandfather, Byron Harmon, who photographed and filmed the Canadian Rockies and adjoining mountain ranges between 1906 and 1934. It delves into family history and introduces some of the remarkable characters with whom he shared a life in this mountain wilderness.

A Memoir Through Essays and Other Stories
Ingrid Rose

The body is Ingrid Rose's touchstone as she explores her life through stories and personal essays:

• Her relationship with her twin brother, Tim
• Her New York adventures as a young woman, waitressing in a jazz club and performing with Warm Rain, a spoken word and music ensemble
• Her spiritual and intellectual transformation from a young communist to a spiritual seeker
• Discovering her body as a source and interpreter of consciousness.

From her childhood in London, England, to living in intentional communities in the Cotswolds and France, Ingrid arrived in Vancouver, Canada, in 1996. She is a storyteller, writing mentor, and author who explores body/mind/spirit.
