He’s given numerous workshops and taught creative writing. He was writer in residence in Winnipeg in 1995-96.
Barbara Schott's work as a fashion stylist frequently takes her to Asia. She is the author of two books of poetry: The Waterlily Pickers and Memoirs of an Almost Expedition.

Unabashedly organic, KIN’s solidly instinctive alternative folk pop was born in 2005, by la petite rivière Seine, on the outskirts of Lorette, Manitoba and the Winnipeg music scene.
The Burke siblings’ music is comprised of subtle motion and unexpected passion, coexisting ingeniously. Complex yet unaffected, soothing yet sparklingly exciting and intriguing.
