Produktbeschreibung
Each and every life is filled with poetry, even when its verses are never articulated. The perfect smile aimed at you with love, the feeling of inexplicable solitude in a crowded room, the perfect calm you sometimes feel before opening your eyes in the morning ... The Gate and Other Poems on a Life's Journey takes these emotions-these moments in time-and captures them forever in black and white, where they can be shared with others who have never found the words. Accompanied by artistic photography, this poetry collection will take you on the journey of the author's life, from his early years through his professional life, his courtship, marriage, loss, and an uncertain a future, living with Parkinson's Disease. Vulnerable, humorous at times, and thought-provoking throughout, The Gate and Other Poems on a Life's Journey is a trip very much worth taking.

Autorenporträt
Doug Jordan and Sidney Shapira have a long history together, having met more than fifty years ago when Sidney was one of Doug's students. Although Doug left teaching for a few years to pursue a law career, he was eventually drawn back to the fulfillment of teaching young minds. And perhaps it was the strength of this "calling" that inspired his former student to follow in his footsteps, as Sidney would go on to become a teacher, a principal, and a consultant before his own retirement when he began pursuing his love of photography full time. Doug has spent much of his life writing and became a poet when he was only a teenager (to "get the girls"). In 2000, he and two other authors established "The Writer's Collective" to support writers in Winnipeg just starting out on their journeys. Although Sidney is newer to the craft, with Doug's encouragement, he has immersed himself in developing his skills with the same creative determination as he approaches his photography, studying with Poet Laureate Di Brandt and being mentored by Victoria-based writer/actor/activist Addena Sumter-Freitag, determined to match the high quality of Doug's poetic offerings. Having recently taken up painting as a creative outlet, Doug still feels compelled to create poetry on a regular basis from his home in Winnipeg, where he enjoys spending time with his three children and four grandchildren. A new member of the Manitoba Writers' Guild, Sidney also enjoys travelling, working as an agency liaison for the United Way, and continuing both his photographic and writing pursuits in his hometown of Winnipeg, where he lives with his wife, Denise Belanger, not far from their adult son and daughter-in-law.
