Hundreds And Thousands: The Journals Of Emily Carr (2007) - Plot & Excerpts
I bought this first edition hard cover in Toronto, I believe. I kind of shudder to myself to think that YES, I marked it up. Fortunately, I am not a book collector in that sense of the word. Here is my review, again, written awhile ago, after I had just experienced the raw Emily...This was her "private journal" and through reading it, it was like she was alive and I got to know her personally, I got to know things which made me ashamed to know at times ( I just had to think of my own journal and some of the shameful private thoughts I've written out). More than anything else, she wanted her paintings to move people. She wanted to capture the very essence of the landscape-"the God in them" as she put it. She wanted all the parts to move in one orchestrated whole. Oh, how she loved her country-the woods, mountains, space,sky, ocean. She would go on camping trips, alone except for her animal companions (dogs, a rat and monkey!!) to paint, write, look, smell, listen. She made me mourn my own failure to observe and appreciate nature
