Description
Regina's Secret Spaces: Love and Lore of Local Geography is an anthology of essays and poems by eighty writers, artists, architects, musicians, patrons of the arts, and cultural theorists who were inspired by and answered the call of editors Lorne Beug, Anne Campbell, and Jeannie Mah to share their favourite "Regina secret." Some submissions were quirky and whimsical, delighting in those things--small, yet significant--which bring joy and connect us to the palce we live; others were more serious and more theoretical, examining power structures--both past and present--and how these have shaped and are still shaping the city. Reflective, engaging and insightful, all express and abiding fondness for the city of Regina.
