	VG: Artist Biography: Harris, Claire
		In 1937, Claire Harris was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad, where her father was the Inspector of Schools and her mother was a teacher.
		Because Claire Harris’ work is honest—-at times brutally honest—-the critics point out that, as in life, there is not always a solution or a simple answer to any trial or tribulation in her work.
		Harris explores these situations in her poem, “Policeman Cleared in Jaywalking Case.” As a general consensus, not only is the poetry of Claire Harris seen as exceptionally well-written and honest, but her subject matter is regarded as conscious and daring as well.

		Harris goes on to suggest that what the tradition most comfortably gives writers like herself is a way to 'seek wholeness in the landscape,' which is an activity that her own earlier poetry does attempt.
		What Harris, a linguist and teacher of literature and language, doesn't tell us is that the literary tradition that she, Dionne Brand, and Marlene Philip appear at first to be most deeply rooted within is the modernist poetic, whose purpose is already to fracture the conventional discourses and to construct different connections and communications.
		Given that for Harris the problems of marginalization are the defining conditions and content of any poetry or any writing, her assertion that one cannot solve the deformations of power with a poetry of revenge, not even revenge upon the traditions of language and the poet, becomes a statement of her political position.

	The Women of Spring Break (1995) (TV) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Harris uses eye mugging, gives Anne a long look of comic anger when she learns of Anne roping Claire into shared accomodation at their frat hotel, and is funny when yelling at someone who crashes into her on the street with `I'm walking here'.
		The treatment interestingly plays off Harris' mannish body language, though Jean-Luc's first view of Claire has Harris lit beautifully, and she is reduced to jumping into a pool in bra and panties.
		Jean-Luc surprises Claire eating seafood wearing a bib, and drinking beer in a six-pak as she sits in a masculine pose, and when she is forced into modelling with Jean-Luc for the campaign, her protestations are ironic in light of Harris' initial modelling days.

	FFWD Weekly - October 5th, 2000
		As Harris reminds her readers, they even do them in Dalhousie (where one such important scene is presented from multiple points of view).
		Polite denial, which amounts to its own kind of cruelty, strikes Harris as particularly Canadian: "One of the things in Canada that is terrifying, is the idea that things you know are going on all the time are not polite and are not to be represented.
		While Harris aims to write clear-eyed and realistic poetry about present-day Calgary, she also means to work with a realistic understanding of what poetry means today.

	Journal of Canadian Studies: Harris, Philip, Brand: Three authors in search of literate criticism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		This essay surveys recent criticism of the writing of three Trinidadian-Canadian women, Claire Harris, M. Nourbese Philip and Dionne Brand, and challenges the would-be politically progressive but also conventional (if not cliched) readings their work has inspired.
		It calls for a new engagement with these authors that will highlight aesthetic concerns such as the use of vernacular speech, the viability of literary influences and even the centrality of Canadian landscape and populations to their works.
		To be precise, our recent critiques of three African-Canadian women writers - Claire Harris, M. Nourbese Philip and Dionne Brand - constitute miasmas of panacea politics, a politics that eschews any engagement with poetics.

		Julie Harris, Claire Bloom, and Russ Tamblyn play the guinea pigs in this experiment, which unfolds into a classic ghost story where the spirits in question really do make quite a nocturnal racket.
		Harris provides a strange voiceover throughout, gradually revealing her character's strange affinity with the forces at work, while reinforcing the discomforting sense that the line between what is tangibly real and what is delusional can be difficult to draw.
		Invited to join anthropologist Dr. Markway (Richard Johnson), ESP expert Theodora (Claire Bloom), and probable heir to the estate Luke Sanderson (Russ Tamblyn) in order to dispel the near mythical tales that surround the house, unstable Eleanor Vance (Julie Harris) agrees to spend a few nights in the house following the death of her mother.
