My Fave Author

Or, the Immigrant Woman

Since i have been fixated, over the last couple days, on the subject of the immigrant's presence in Canada, i decided to write about the one thing/person that helped me to keep it together in my early years as a student. I want to say that Dionne Brand is the most honest author i know. She tells it like it is, and you either take it or you don't. She was the first person who told me (through her work) that it's o.k. to be honest about how you feel, and to get angry if you have to. And, for that, i respect her a great deal. Her politics is so far reaching and i could always "return home" to her prose.
