From Thin Air of The Knowable

Perhaps there is only the demonic journey.
Small beauties by the roadside and 
such love as we can muster. 
                                                     
​                                                     Wendy Donawa

            

Welcome—friends, colleagues, folks interested in poetry, literature, art, research writing.
​
Rarely away from the sound and sight of the sea, I grew up on Vancouver Island and subsequently spent three decades in Barbados as educator, artist and museum curator.



Returning to BC in the 90s, I now live and work in sight of the Sooke Hills and Salish Sea.  Retired from life as an independent scholar, I focus my interest and energy on poetry.

I sustain my inner life with drawing, poetry, and tai chi, collect contemporary Canadian ceramics, putter in my small Japanese balcony garden, read voraciously, and write compulsively. ​
