Beyond the Page

Richard Wagamese, long-time columnist for the Calgary Herald, has over the past few years found a new solace in his life just outside Kamloops, BC. This grounding has allowed him to take stock of life and reaffirm the things that are important to him: family, story-telling, acceptance. These themes run through his latest collection of musings on his own life, past and present. Inspiring, honest, raw and refreshingly free of rhetoric, this is Wagamese as himself. Read a few of his pieces in this excerpt.
