Canadian Male Poets
Canadians (french: Canadiens) are people identified with the country of Canada. This connection may be residential, legal, historical or cultural. For most Canadians, many (or all) of these connections exist and are collectively the source of their being ''Canadian''. Canada is a multilingual and multicultural society home to people of groups of many different ethnic, religious, and national origins, with the majority of the population made up of Old World immigrants and their descendants. Following the initial period of French and then the much larger British colonization, different waves (or peaks) of immigration and settlement of non-indigenous peoples took place over the course of nearly two centuries and continue today. Elements of Indigenous, French, British, and more recent immigrant customs, languages, and religions have combined to form the culture of Canada, and thus a Canadian identity. Canada has also been strongly influenced by its linguistic, geographic, and e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

One Little Goat Theatre Company
One Little Goat Theatre Company is a theatre company devoted to modern and contemporary "poetic theatre". Founded by poet, playwright and director Adam Seelig in New York City in 2002, and based in Toronto since 2005, the company performs provocative takes on international plays. The company takes its name from the ancient Aramaic folk song that traditionally concludes the Passover Seder. Poetic theatre Producing, developing, and defining "poetic theatre" has been One Little Goat's mandate since the company's inception. One Little Goat's Artistic Director, Adam Seelig, outlines key elements of the company's aesthetic in an essay for the ''Capilano Review''. These elements include "charactor" (Seelig's term for combining an actor's onstage persona with their offstage nature), the "prism/gap" between actor and audience, and ambiguity. In the essay, Seelig also traces the influences of Sophocles, Zeami, Luigi Pirandello, Bertolt Brecht, Samuel Beckett, Thomas Bernhard, and others on ...

Egregore
Egregore (also spelled egregor; , ) is an occult concept representing a non-physical entity that arises from the collective thoughts of a distinct group of people. Historically, the concept referred to angelic beings, or watchers, and the specific rituals and practices associated with them, namely within Enochian traditions. In more recent times, the concept has referred to a psychic manifestation, or a thoughtform, which occurs when any group shares a common motivation—being made up of, and influencing, the thoughts of the group. The symbiotic relationship between an egregore and its group has been compared to the non-occult concepts of the corporation (as a juridical person or legal entity) and the meme. History The concept of egregorial powers has its roots in the '' Book of Enoch''. Later the term and concept found its way into other languages. ''Manuscrit trouvé à Saragosse'', or ''The Manuscript Found in Saragossa'', was a novel written in French by the Polish aut ...
