Model gains national exposure

SUN STAFF

A scale model of a Doukhobor
village, created by a pair of local
artisans, will be displayed
throughout the country.

Harry Soloveoff and Larry
Ewashen have been working on
the model the past few months
and the project is nearing comple-
tion. The model depicts a “typi-
cal” Doukhobor village and all
elements have been created per-

fectly to scale, right down to the
trees and wooden rails on the
buildings.+

The model village will be
moved from Castlegar to the
Canadian Museum of Civilization
in Hull, Quebec on Dec. 9. It will
go on display as part of the muse-
um's exhibit on the Doukhobors.

After the display in Hull, the
model will tour across Canada to
other museums such as the Glen-
bow in Calgary and The Royal

other books of poetry culminating

In addition to being a poet
with intense social concerns,
Wayman has written numerous
articles and published several
books disc the necessity of
including the details of work in
our poems, Books like Jnside
Job: The New Work Writing
(1983) and A Coumry Not Con-
sidered: Canada, Culture Work

(1993) are examples.

Also, Wayman has encouraged
young and emerging writers—
helping them find publishers and
giving them support. As well, he
has put together a number of
anthologies such as Beaton
Abbot's Got the Contract and A
Government Job at Last. One I
know well is a collection of work
poems entitled Going for Coffee.

Poet comes to Selkirk

Tom Wayman blew into Selkirk College last week like a breath of
fresh lake air off the Slocan. In fact, this image is not so far-fetched as
Wayman has lived for the past few years at Winlaw, leaving now and
then to teach around the country. And the students and faculty at
Selkirk loved his reading.

His most recent stint of teaching was a three-year contract with
Okanagan College. But now he has taken a year off to clear the mark-
ing cobwebs from his brain and to write a few new poems and a clutch
of essays. This fall he has been doing a little teaching at the Kootenay
School of Art in Nelson.

Initially when I met this
man, it was through his books.
Being self-conscious about my
own writing, I couldn’t believe
someone would use his own
name in the title of his book.
But that’s what Wayman did in
Waiting for Wayman: (1973). I
thought, “What an egoist!”

But I was wrong. Wayman
is anything but an egoist. As a writer, he has written many poems with
Wayman as a central figure, but nearly always those poems have been
concerned with a feature of our way of living on this planet. He is per-
haps the most socially-conscious of our poets rather than one who is
tumed in upon himself.

Wayman’s first book was followed quickly by three others: For and
Against the Moon (1974), Money and Rain: Tom Wayman Live (1975)
and Free Time (1977). Though these books occasionally show a lyrical
Wayman, mostly he is grappling with the world of work, particularly as
it shows itself in factories and cities. Since then, there have been 10

Beatles take me back

THE eeu ANTHOLOGY VOLUME! The veanes
(Apple/EM!)

Is it? Yup, it’s still 1995 so I’m not caught in one of those cool “time
warp” episodes on Star Trek. Here is the reason we're going through
the second wave of Beatlemania in as many years.

Anthology Volume I is a gold mine, a treasure trove for fans. I’m as
big a Beatles fan as anyone I know, with the exception of Rob. But
with all the ghosts here, it feels like this borders on necrophilia. A bet-
ter title would've been Archeology or The Lost World. No, wait a
minute. That's the Jurassic Park sequel.

As I write this, I'm waiting for Part 2 of the documentary tonight,
working long hours at the radio station to get around the renovations
and my deadline looms large as the words the late Danny Galivan
might say. So take my words not so much as an in-depth review as a
rather long-winded first impression.

Historically, A Disc one has
Johh and Paul's first ded "s living room
with an old portable recorder. Then there's the 78 they cut (with
George Harrison on guitar,
John Lowe on piano and Colin
Hanton on drums). Then The
Beatles’ do “My Bonnie” with
Tony Sheridan. I like the demo
stuff that manager Brian
Epstein shopped around for a
record deal. These songs
included “Besame Mucho”
and “Love Me Do.” The ver-
sion heard here was cut with
Pete Best on drums, whereas

ous awards. Both as a poet and an
individual, he takes strong stands
on issues. If his poetry can be
criticized at all, it would be
because the line between his
prose and his poetry is so thin,
Because he is an essayist of
note, often his arguments seem to
spill over into poems. Once in a
while we are not.a “thus” or a
“therefore” in a poem, and so we
say, “Hey, Wayman, you crazy,
why didn’t you keep that idea for
your persuasive writing?” To
which he'd probably reply, “In
every poem I write, I'm trying to
persuade someone to live better.”
If you never read another poet-

($)

ry book, you should pick up Way-
man's recent The Astonishing
Book of the Dead. \t retains Way-
man's trademark humor and his
lively response to love and eroti-
cism, nature and death. It will
take you in.

A section called “The Winlaw

Eulogies” is of particular note for
locals as it deals with the death of
mountaineering friends like Leo
Bostock and others. Here is a
lyrical Wayman we only guessed
at in other books.

The social and political are
present in a few rants in this

book, but the astonishing first
poem “Woman Who Calls Hors-
es” should have been a clue to the
new Wayman. Perhaps looking
back to his first book in 1973, it
is this Wayman we have been
waiting for.

the ones we're more familiar with i session di Andy
White and Ringo Starr respectively. Confused? There's a comprehen-
sive booklet to walk you through from start to finish.

Each will find something different to like about this. Some might
key on the early pre-Beatles stuff. Others may want the live perfor-
mances included. Still OTHERS may have grabbed this for the new
song “Free As A Bird.” All valid considerations, but what makes this
feel like a visit with The Fab Four are the interview soundbytes (hey,
this IS the ‘90s) peppered throughout disc 1. We hear from John, Paul
and Brian Epstein.

The timing for the release of The Beatles Anthology Volume I is no
accident and this new, yet entirely anticipated wave of Bc lemania
-witHast through the Christmas gift ‘Season.

Let me lay such cynical observations aside and freely admit that I’m

up in this, too. I’m enjoying the documentary and this cd set
and find myself getting back into the old Beatles albums.

When I feel like brushing up on Beatles history, I'll return to this /

well often. For sheer listening pleasure however, I°ll put the Blue or
Red double sets into my cd player or any of the older albums from the
slowly growing Beatles section of my cd library.

Key tracks: I won't get sucked into this debate, so pick your own.
How do you feel about the new song “Free As A Bird?” Where was
producer George Martin? Why was Jeff Lynne given the honors. The
result could be called The Electric Light Beatlestra or The Beatleburys.
You KNOW when Lynne produces a record, he imposes his own sound
on it. Up yours Jeff, so there.

This dobule disc set has taken me back to the mid sixties when, as a
seven or eight-year-old and the youngest of four, I had to be Ringo
because all the badminton racquets were taken. So thanks to The Fab
Four (and the record company too, what the hell) for going back to the
“60s and taking us with you... thanks guys!! As with the “BBC” set
from last year around this time, The Beatles Anthology will have you
falling in love with The Beatles all over again.
