Marie
Marie Dunn, a native of Woodstock, Ontario, came to Saskatchewan to work as a Regional Nutritionist. She moved to a position in Ghana, West Africa for a few years before returning to Saskatoon and eventual retirement from the University. She is a volunteer and a sometime writer.
Kate
Kate Hodgson loves playing on the borders between craft and art. She has studied fine arts but also learned to knit from her grandmother, mother and aunts around the same time she was learning to read. She indulges in painting, sculpture, weaving, and illustrating. She also enjoys Lolcats. During the course of illustrating Marie's poems Kate has discovered Adinkra; a symbol language used by the Akan people of Ghana and the Ivory Coast, West Africa. She has put these symbols to use in the illustrating of Thinking Now & Remembering Then : 4 poems.
Mate Masie literally means "what I hear, I keep" or "I understand". It is the symbol of wisdom, knowledge and prudence.
