They held an annual festival to honour the goddess Isis, commonly regarded as the mother of the pharaohs.

Rivers run through it
In a recent interview, New Brunswick photographer Thaddeus Holownia calls himself a control freak more than once. His latest project, though, the soon-to-be released book Silver Ghost, belies this self-assessment, as every detail besides his arresting black-and-white photographs is the product of collaboration.

Making music in concert

Into the inner lives of poets
For the last few weeks, I have been communing with the work of three poets. Former Frederictonian Brian Bartlett has a new book out, The Watchmaker's Table.
