Canada? Why would I want to leave America just to visit America, Jr.?
The first time I ever felt the necessity or inevitableness of verse, was in the desire to reproduce the peculiar quality of feeling which is induced by the flat spaces and wide horizons of the virgin prairie of western Canada.
Very little is known of the Canadian country since it is rarely visited by anyone but the Queen and illiterate sport fishermen.
If you want to go foraging into the wilds of Canada without proper gear, you deserve what you get, even if that happens to include being attacked by an undead moose.
Since the summer days of my Canadian childhood, I have loved to canoe across the dark mirror of northern lakes, paddling with an inside flick of the blade, leaving a trail of twisting whirlpools in my wake.
My first western was 'Death Hunt' with Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin; that was where I learned to ride. The movie was based on a true story about a guy that eluded the Mounties in Canada. We were in Canada for six weeks riding horses.
Canada has really grown and grown as this unexplored and very mysterious and exotic place to me.
I wished only to be set down in Canada, and take one honest walk there as I might in Concord woods of an afternoon.
