will launch White Salt Mountain: Words in Time at the St.
Francis Xavier University Art Gallery on Wednesday, May 18 at

influences that first emerged in Spar: Words in Place, Sanger

literary history. Sanger's unique and far-sighted approach to
words and time illustrates critical intersections between authors,
readers and texts.
