About this product
Product Information
During the groundbreaking Charles Edenshaw exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery in 2013, poet Colin Browne found himself returning often to study three large argillite platters carved by the Haida master in the late 1800s. Produced several years apart, each depicts an identical scene at the same moment: two frightened figures in a canoe appear to be on a mission. One is the Raven, in supernatural form, brandishing a spear; the other, in the stern, is a human-like figure with a circular head. On one platter he holds a paddle; on the other, his arms are raised in a state of panic. He is the helmsman, known as Fungus, or Fungus Man, or Biscuit Man. The Raven and Fungus Man appear early on in the Haida epic poem "Raven Travelling," not long after the Raven releases human men from a clamshell. Their mission is to enable men and women to go forth and multiply. The three platters, celebrated not only for their craftsmanship but also for their insight into the psyche, are rarely brought together in one place, and the fact that Edenshaw returned, with a sense of humour, to this primal scene, suggests that the theme was as important to him as it was to his contemporary, Sigmund Freud. Browne launches his unexpected journey of discovery with a simple question: "Who was Fungus, or Fungus Man, and why did he become the one responsible for the miracle of human procreation?" Every good story is an origin story - and a mystery story - and in Entering Time: The Fungus Man Platters of Charles Edenshaw , Browne ranges through the fields of art history, literature, ethnology, and myth to discover a parallel history of modernism within one of the world's most subtle and sophisticated artistic and literary cultures. The text is supplemented by an interview with visual artist Neil Campbell, whose recent paintings speak to Fungus Man's art-historical echoes and contemporary relevance.

BOOK AWARDS The Properties Finalist for the 2013 Ethel Wilson Poetry Prize The Shovel Finalist for the 2008 ReLit Award for Poetry Ground Water Finalist for the 2002 Governor General'e(tm)s Literary Award for Poetry Finalist for the 2003 BC Book Prize: Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize QUOTES OF NOTE The Hatch 'eoeIt is time that the film-maker/poet Colin Browne from B.C. got celebrated for the work he has done through four books now, all published by Talonbooks: Ground Water (2002), The Shovel (2007), The Properties (2012), and this latest one, The Hatch. 'e¦ Browne'e(tm)s eclectic and wide-ranging ear invites company, conversations 'e¦ exhilarating. 'e¦ This poet can apparently do anything 'e¦ The diversity and dexterity are dazzling, the images stick, the phrasing causes slaps or shivers. 'e¦ If you haven'e(tm)t read Colin Browne, I urge you to.'e� 'e" The Bull Calf, "[Browne] is to be congratulated on treating Edenshaw's work not as a separate 'ethnographic' art but as modernist hybrid work that mirrored what was going on in the Haida world in late nineteenth and early twentieth century B.C. Browne's detailed discussion of Charles Edenshaw's platters - and the political, social, and economic environment in which that creation took place - is informed by his dependence on the knowledge and insight of contemporary Haida scholars and artists and also by his extensive reference to academic discussion. ... A delight to read and an accessible and lively introduction to the twists and turns of Haida mythology." --The Ormsby Review, Browne's masterful drawing-together of ... sources, his astute observations, creative speculations, and poetic writing combine to give a new perspective on three masterpieces of Haida art., "Colin Browne provides a thoughtful, provocative analysis of Charles Edenshaw's depictions of Raven's journey to help fulfill women, and in doing so, contemplates humanity's existence." --Gid7ahl-Gudsllaay, Lalaxaaygans, Terri-Lynn Williams-Davidson
