About the Lady's Slipper:

Lady's Slipper is a compilation of prose and poetry that reflects Judy's thoughts and responses to majot life events from childhood through adulthood and retirement. As a lawyer, Judy's legal and academic writing became structured and functional, often losing the creative edge. But as she travelled across Canada over the years between Quebec and Alberta, Alberta and Newfoundland, and Alberta and British Coloumbia, Judy wrote ntes and short poems in her jorunals to describe Canadian landscapes. Whether her journeys were by car, bus, or train, she tried to vividly describe simple images. More recently, Judy and her elder sister began writing poetry to one another to share stories where family and friends feature prominantly. At its core, Lady's Slipper is about human transformation in a complex, dynamic ecosystem where everything is connected, but where emerging trends and objects go unnoticed or become obsolete.
