Beginning with a friend and colleague's reminiscences of Keith Garebian's early teaching years at a Catholic high school in Montreal, this collection ranges from accolades and detailed overviews by a variety of distinguished artists and writers. Garebian has consistently revealed, in his daily practice, as theatre and literary critic, biographer, and poet ""the heat of so much disciplined passion."" The collection stands as a testament to an intense zest and respect for the issues and the artist being addressed - an artist whose work has passionately taken on complex issues ranging from illness, to sexuality, and genocide.
