Shared Vision June 2000 Wild Stone Heart an interview with Sharon Butala By Jeffrey Kluger Page 1 of 2 Sharon Butala is one of Canada's best-loved writers. Her luminous meditation on spirit and the land, The Perfection of the Morning: An Apprenticeship in Nature spent 48 weeks on the bestseller list and was nominated for the Governor General's Award. It described an experience so powerful that many of us across the country recognized both ourselves and our own landscape laid open with compelling honesty. Sharon is an inspiring writer for many reasons. She came to the craft at the age of 38 and proceeded to author a long list of prize-winning novels, short stories, and non-fiction. For people in life transition, her honesty about the crisis she experienced when she moved to a Saskatchewan ranch and the insights that came to her on the land are particularly resounding. For those looking for models of how to harmonize spirit, nature and our presence on the land, she and her husband set a legal precedent in Saskatchewan by arranging for their land to be held by the Nature Conservancy of Canada with no net loss of agricultural productivity. Her latest book, Wild Stone Heart: an apprentice in the field, is due to be released this summer, about the same time as her annual visit to teach at Hollyhock. Shared Vision spoke with her about her new book, and her thoughts on the relationship between the natural world, spirit and the art of writing.

Shared Vision June 2000 Wild Stone Heart continued... Page 2 of 2 SV What has made you open to their revealing themselves and then finding a voice to describe that? SB It kind of goes in both directions. On the one hand, they've taught me what I've needed to know to be open to their presence. On the other hand, if I hadn't been in the psychic situation I was in, I would have been closed to them. This goes back to The Perfection of the Morning and why this book is the next step. In The Perfection of the Morning I said that I soon learned nature was interesting enough in itself. I had no interest in scientific pursuits, so I wasn't bird watching or being a rock hound or collecting plants. I was just walking around and letting the atmosphere seep in. SV You've encouraged and taught many writers who are grateful for the personal attention you give them. SB I used to give weekend and half day workshops here and there, but I've stopped doing that because I live in such a remote place.

Sharon Butala I've been writing for more than twenty years and have published eleven books, with two more out in 2002: my third short story collection, Real Life , and a collaboration with a photographer for a book on The Old Man On His Back Prairie and Heritage Conservation Area, both with HarperCollins Canada. My third non-fiction book, Wild Stone Heart , (HarperCollins Canada, 2000) is now out in paperback. In 1998 I received the Marian Engel Award for a Woman Writer in Mid-Career and in 2000 I was awarded an honorary LLD from the University of Regina. Fever I have wanted to make a record of the lives of the rural agricultural people of southwestern Saskatchewan, where I have lived more than twenty-five years, and to also explain why we need to stop rural depopulation while also conserving our grassland. In 1996 my husband and I turned our ranch over to The Nature Conservancy of Canada to establish the Old Man On His Back Prairie and Heritage Conservation Area. The spiritual sustenance to be found in nature in its undisturbed state is one of my larger themes, but my overarching theme has been and continues to be my effort to understand and to lay bare, in both fiction and non-fiction, the female soul.

Wild Stone Heart: An Apprentice in the Fields by Sharon Butala Published by Harper Flamingo Canada 240 pages, 2000 ISBN: 000255397X Buy it online Coming Home through an Oracular Field Reviewed by J.M. Bridgeman By now, Saskatchewan writer Sharon Butala has fenced her territory in the North American literary landscape. Readers await her regular dispatches, fiction and non-fiction, with great anticipation. Like letters from home, from a talented and sensitive relative, they fill us in on the latest news who got married, who's pregnant, who has cancer, who died. They riff on how she feels about it all, her hesitations, her insecurities, what she has learned. The intimacy hooks into our longing to know one familiar landscape, with a rock of a partner/husband, to belong to a close family, to be part of a community, to live a good long life and to pass content, understanding our place in the universe. Wild Stone Heart: An Apprentice in the Fields more than meets expectations. Where its companion volume, 1994's
