This is a poetic account of economy travel on North American roadways, across Peace and Ambassador bridges and through the Fleetway tunnel, above and beneath Great Lake rivers between nation states. Nicholson reimagines the trajectories of her birth father and his labour as it criss-crossed these borders in a study that engages the automobile object, its industry, roadways and hospitality, through and beyond the Great Lakes region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEngaging a range of discursive fields to form the metrics of this project, she is interested in the intersection of various artistic practices and how being in relation to them can lend dimension to page and text-based efforts. Consider Charles Campbell's Transporter project, begun initially as a visual investigation of the phenomenon of forced migration, or Camille Turner's various \"sonic walks\" which present narratives that explore the complexities of Black life in Canada amid a \"landscape of forgetting\" Black history, and Khari McClelland's embrace of music as a \"transportation device\" uncovering the experiences of fugitive Blacks crossing into Canada and a breadth of practice concerning borders and movement. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was once in the fields and frequented bars. It rolls out of factories onto roads travelling north across the border and returning again to some understanding of home. There are passengers and possessions - travelling musicians - memories of the Caribbean - brothers determined by border crossings - daughters reassembled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cecily Nicholson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1772011827\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781772011821\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Talonbooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Cecily Nicholson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991837638911,"sku":"9781772011821","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_11613051-5979-493f-ae1a-853ec11cab44.jpg?v=1683312521","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wayside-sang-cecily-nicholson-9781772011821","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
