Walking HomeWalking home from Waterloo, Ontario, where he attended university, Dave Beverly-Foster followed the Grand River then traced the North Saugeen River. For twelve days, he trekked over 200 kilometres—on roads and rail trails, over bridges, through swamp, forest, and farmland, camping wherever he found shelter. In this book, he reflects upon his experiences—earnest and absurd—and considers humans’ relationship with the land. His photographs show the diverse rural terrain and the range of April weather he encountered. 240 pages including 8 pages of colour images. ISBN 978-1-896922-69-0 quality soft cover $20.00

As is much of Lowry's work, this writing is personal and autobiographical, also concerning itself with the human condition.

Tooling Around with Michael O'Neill takes readers down into trenches, up ladders, and around a hilly farm in midwestern Ontario. One day in the barn, the next in a wet basement, Mike applies humour in all situations. Equally handy with pitchfork, pipe wrench, and pen, he spins tales of on-the-job challenges and family fun. Meet his helper Lady Bertha, the heifers that almost got away, and the grandsons who want him to play in the tree house. You'll chuckle as you follow Mike into crawl spaces and attics. Ride with him as Big Zed tackles thistles and a not-quite-all-terrain vehicle gives him a few surprises. Michael O'Neill's stories have appeared in the weekly Lucknow Sentinel, a pair of independently published books, and the collection Our Farmily Farm: stories from Bruce & Grey. The Brucedale Press $18.00 in Canada
