"Once upon a time all of Canada was land, and the day is coming when it will all be real estate."


"Phil Jenkins is a landscape artist, except he uses words instead of paint." 

An Acre of Time is about the way land becomes territory, territory becomes property, and property becomes real estate. It’s about the process by which man alters the place he inhabits. By taking a single acre of Canada and examining it in unexpected ways, Jenkins has produced a highly original celebration of place, a book at once eclectic, invaluable, and unique.
