*There are more immigrant voices added daily to our conversation on the
environment and climate change in this country, and yet, there are lots more to
add. Editor Angel Mota has expertly curated each of the pieces in this anthology, into a compelling whole about the authors’ connection to natural spaces through olfactory experiences. Most of the contributors of Beyond the Park are immigrant settlers, with their own mother tongues, embracing either English or French, depending on where they settled.
The untranslated pieces, writt en in English or French, Canada’s two official languages, complicate the cultural and linguistic
idea of the “Two Solitudes.”
Our community partners at the Art Gallery of Alberta invited children aged 4 to 7 years old to submit a piece of art on the subject of “The Park.” The winning entry, a sparkling collage of shapes in green and yellow suns and trees by Dominic Godbout, age six, an ardent Edmonton Oilers fan,
served as the inspiration for our designer Cecilia Salcedo to give this anthology
its bold cover design. The original work, inside the pages of this anthology,
carries our spirit of collaboration, hope for the future, and inclusion throughout.
