I remember just being absolutely fascinated and memorizing everything," she said, rhyming off Kidney Horse River, a poem she learned more than 50 years ago. "What I want to do is make poetry accessible, for people who don't understand or think they hate it, or for people who want to share their poetry but have no one to read it to. I have the luxury of being retired so I can write poetry, I can help other poets. It gives me pleasure to do that." Enola started writing her own poetry in university, publishing her first group of poems in 1965 in Prism No. 8, a yellowed book she still has in her possession. "This was during a time of great social changes," she said, among them the civil rights, anti-nuclear and anti-Vietnam movements, and Quebec's issues surrounding language rights and resisting church oppression. "It was a very fertile, exciting time." Those social issues have always interested Enola, who's a member of Women Halton Action Movement, Amnesty International and president of the Oakville Humanist Committee. Social issues have always permeated her poetry, too. Enola has never really addressed her upbringing in Montreal, or the fact that at age 21 she nearly died of acute pancreatitis. "I very, very rarely have written about personal stuff," she said. "No matter what I think I'm going to write, my poems always end up with a social comment." She believes that comes from her upbringing. A Jewish family, religion played no role in her home. It was ethics instead. "Those ethics, I think, that's where a lot of what I do now comes from," she said, "it imbues everything I do." Many of the issues she tackles in her poetry ­ her first solo effort, Womenfolk, was published in 2004 and is now available at Bookers ­ spur from photographs she snaps during her travels. Last October, Enola was in West Africa, a trip she captured in seven giant photo albums. There's evidence of a love of travel all over her home. Its walls ­ every wall from the bathrooms to the basement ­ are covered with art created by artists from all over the world. The second floor houses a collection of masks she and Ernie have purchased in Africa, Venice, Peru, Hawaii, the Arctic, Greenland, Mexico, St. Martin, Asia, Cuba, New Orleans ­ the list goes on. This love of art is something Enola recognized as a young girl. "I remember as a child I would cut out pictures from the art section of Time magazine and hang them on my wall. That's certainly not from my background, or anything I was taught," she said. "I would go to musicals, I would go to movies as a kid. I was just fascinated. I guess it's curiosity." As for what Enola identifies as her life's passion, it's something that permeates all of her endeavours, from travel to art to teaching. "Truth and fairness. That's the context in which I work," she said, smiling. "When I see that, whether it's social, political, poetic ­ I'm happy."
