John Bemrose talks love triangles and emotional balance in his novel, The Last Woman. Two journalists debate the balance between reporting scientific fact and advocating for a cause; they are Alanna Mitchell, author of Sea Sick, and Andrew Nikiforuk, author of Tar Sands. And Shelagh remembers the poet P.K. Page.
