Dreamland Theatre [Paperback]

The Dreamland Theatre exists in a photograph of a white building on sledges being pulled through the mud from one location to another by a team of horses in Prince George (then Fort George) circa 1912. These poems are about imagining place and, continuing the work of FINDING FT. GEORGE, Rob Budde's process of trying, and failing, to find out where he is. Poetry is part of a place, and this book deals in the powerful homemaking that is language itself.Rob Budde teaches creative writing at the University of Northern British Columbia in Prince George. He has published seven books (poetry, novels, interviews, and short fiction) and appeared in numerous literary magazines including CANADIAN LITERATURE, THE CAPILANO REVIEW, WEST COAST LINE, DUSIE, DITCH, FILLING STATION, PRAIRIE FIRE, MATRIX, and DANDELION. He is also a regular columnist for NORTHWORD MAGAZINE. His most recent books are DECLINING AMERICA and FINDING FT. GEORGE from Caitlin Press.
