The Wig-Maker
No Customer Reviews
Poetry. Memoir. Abandoned by her mother and abused by her father as a child, Janet has sought to unearth and articulate the questions around her upbringing and her family's past ever since. Recounting her story to Sharon, she found a receptive ear, the ability to heal, and a willing, uncanny, and faithful lyrical transcriber.
Janet's self-recognition as a biracial child, her mourning the early loss of her brother and sister, the Black history of Alberta and Saskatchewan, her passage from McCrate, to Clift, to Gallant, and her wig-making work are woven together in Sharon's elegiac verse. THE WIG-MAKER is Janet Gallant's song; her story comes to life in Sharon Thesen's poem.
