With his latest book, Joe commemorates his neighbours in a series of portraits whose subjects range from Canadian musical icon Hawksley Workman to the man who installed Joe’s woodstove.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eJoe’s Neighbours\u003c\/i\u003e, we get a glimpse into the lives of people who have strayed from the urban grid, and in Joe, we meet a “pathological painter” who is engaged with his community. Viewed through Joe’s idiosyncratic lens, rural Canadian life comes alive, and we meet a hub of artists, activists, and offbeat characters who truly embody Joe’s vision of neighbourliness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ECW Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135394955504,"sku":"9781770908703","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781770908703_p0.jpg?v=1763706706","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781770908703","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
