RUNNING BAREFOOT: Women Write the Land

Edited by Wynne Edwards and Dianne Linden

In Running Barefoot, women share some of their most sacred and profound experiences in relationship with the land. Readers who have lived in Western Canada, or have been moved by the beauty of the earth, will be challenged to look deeper and experience more fully the world in which they live.

The inspiration for this collection was a gathering of Western Canadian women to perform music by Carolyn McDade. The CD produced by this group, entitled We Are the Land We Sing.

Wynne Edwards has worked with women collectively on a number of writing projects. Most recently she edited Study in Grey: Women Writing About Depression, with Shirley Serviss (Rowan Books, 1999).

Dianne Linden is a teacher, writer, editor, and grandmother who feels a deep concern and respect for this earth we call home. Her work has been published in Canada, Britain and the United States.

Rowan Books (no longer active) was the original publisher of Running Barefoot: Women Write the Land
