Kate Braid has had a diverse career including secretary, carpenter, teacher and writer. Her first book of poems Covering Rough Ground won the Pat Lowther Award for best book of poetry by a Canadian woman. Her second, To This Cedar Fountain, was nominated for the BC Book Prize, and her third, Inward to the Bones: Georgia O'Keeffe's Journey with Emily Carr, won the Vancity Book Prize. In 2005 she co-edited with Sandy Shreve In Fine Form: The Canadian Book of Form Poetry. Braid has also written several non-fiction books and essays. She lives in Burnaby, British Columbia.Braid is a devoted (to say the least) fan of Glenn Gould--and of J.S. Bach.
In 1930, Emily Carr met Georgia OKeeffe at an exhibition of OKeeffes paintings in New York. Inspired by the idea of a bond between these two powerful painters, award-winning poet Kate Braid has expanded that momentary meeting into a passionate, revolutionary friendship. In Georgia OKeeffes voice, she envisions what might have happened if the two women had visited each other in the landscapes that inspired their art: OKeeffes New Mexico and Carrs British Columbia. Thus begins an extraordinary journey through landscape, art and desireand inward to the bones.
