John B.Lee has written a number of poems that circle around the life of Samuel de Champlain. In doing so, he asks the reader to meditate on the establishment of this country. His words cross time, reaching out to individual souls whose struggles would one day become history. You might be familiar with these figures if you grew up in the Canadian school system. John’s poems provide a different version from the one you read about in your history textbook. They speak in a way that emphasizes the people within the politics. (TD)
