Au large! Envoyez au large! is the cry of the Canadian voyageurs as they thrust their paddles against the shore and push out on the broad lake for a journey through the wilderness. Au large! is what the man in the bow shouts to the man in the stern when the birch canoe is running down the rapids, and the water grows too broken, and the rocks too thick, along the river-bank. Then the frail bark must be driven out into the very centre of the wild current, into the midst of danger to find safety, dashing, like a frightened colt, along the smooth, sloping lane bordered by white fences of foam.

 

- Henry Van Dyke


Andrew Kalaidjian is a second year graduate student at UC Santa Barbara studying modern and contemporary poetry, environmental, materialist and visual theory. He is currently working on a project that investigates shifts in temporal and spatial perception that occur in locations of environmental and technological removal (on the high seas looking towards land, the view from an airplane window, the work of art and the viewer, the stage and the audience).
