"A thousand miles away at sea, sailing along in the winter North Pacific, I felt the need to hear from my Canadian home. I instinctively played my CD of Ted MacGillivray’s songs, relishing his words and images. It was a poignant moment. Over the years I’ve been blessed to read many of Ted’s poems so rich in ideas. I am so thankful that he has finally gifted us all with his book.
—William Hay, poet, author of Love Between the Sacred and Profane
In language hypnotic with rhyme, tone and beat, Ted MacGillivray delivers a lifetime of emotions, opinions, opinions and the philosophical thoughts of a questioning mind that’s looking for justice, interspersed with ironic anger amid events of sweet love and lust. I can hear the clapping and cheering as I read these pages.
—Bernice Lever, poet & editor, author of Red Letter Day, Black Moss, 2014
Ted MacGillivray is a trickster, poet and spirit guide, using magical language to interpret songlines, the shapes of clouds and waves we confront at every crossroad. His voice of experience puts innocence back in the journey; his ironic wisdom offers comfort during the life migration.
—Linda Rogers, author of Tempo Rubato
Ted MacGillivray had the audacity to ask for a blurb. I have blurb fatigue—so many worthy books, so little time. When I hung up I felt terrible. This humble man is a dedicated writer who has put a lifetime into perfecting his craft and is ready, at least, to publish. He deserves our attention, and I can vouch for it, he is wise beyond his years.
—Susan Musgrave, author of Origami Dove
