Further Info The 2014 book, For Kelly, with Love commemorated an unusual project in homage of Kelly Parsons, a Victoria poet and medievalist, who died of breast cancer in 2008. Sixteen Canadian poets were invited to finish a project contemplated by Parsons, but never begun due to her declining health, by each writing one or more poems inspired by Hessay's small abstracts. The collaborative effort included poets such as Bill Bissett, Patrick Friesen, Linda Rogers, and Patricia Young, among others. Western Paintings of John Clymer: During his long artistic career, John Clymer developed a highly effective process for painting the history of the American West.

They would then travel to the proposed site for the painting to get a firsthand feeling for the area. As a result of these intensive preparations, Clymer’s paintings are both rich in accurate historical detail and successful in capturing the essence of their geographical settings. Clymer was adept at recreating an historical event or era while, at the same time, drawing the viewer into the physical scene
