    Yes, having lived in Paris is indeed what they have in common. Livesay published Plainsongs in 1971 and Huston published Plainsong in 1993. Plainsong refers to liturgical chants, such as Gregorian chant.

    Well, both Huston and Livesay published books entitled Plainsong, but Huston’s was a (self-) translation of her Cantique des plaines. Oddly, the pun works in English, and not really in French.

    Okay, given your mandate, and the map, I’m going to go with: They all spent significant artistic time in Paris… but honestly, this makes me want to go back and take a course in Canadian Modernism… which is not my field, although I am being pulled inexorably towards it…
