Carmen Faye Mathes reviews Ian Williams, John Stef Carmen Faye Mathes reviews Ian Williams, John Steffler, Afua Cooper and Wilfried Raussert for EVENT 50/1-- "I learned that John Ware was a Black cowboy in 1998, two years into attending John Ware Junior High in Calgary, Alberta...At the time, I remember being amazed both that I hadn’t known the identity of the person for whom my school was named, and that Black cowboys existed, full stop. Three recent collections of poetry share an interest in the lacunas left by our educations, whether through the dynamics of erasure and celebration that complicate the history of Black presence in Canada and elsewhere; the fuzziness of remembered youth; or the logics of race, class, gender, etc., that school teaches us without it necessarily being on the curriculum."
