About the Authors
David White's first book is "The Lark Ascending" (Pedlar Press, 2017). "Written between 1997 and 2016, it infuses lyric meditation into narrative memoir and travelogue. A sequence of poems, it also serves as an essay about the culture that produced his adopted Chinese daughter, Shen -- to whom he dedicates the book. Spanning nearly twenty years of writing, the book captures the expansions and subtractions that mark the life and wisdom of 'a Queer Odysseus' with plenty to report about being alive in the twenty first century as an adoptive father, a gay man, a devoted friend, and a human being" (Michael Robeson, Canadian Literature). White's second book, "Local Haunts" explores London, Ontario and environs which Treaty #29 refers to as The Huron Tract; it will be published by Pedlar Press in 2019. He lives in London, Ontario and is a Professor at Fanshawe College.
