Innovative and stimulating, the New BC Poets series will publish
emerging and established BC poets in a fresh format that explores
the broader scope of the poet’s work.

The first book in this series, 4 poets, presents over a dozen new
poems by emerging poets Elza, Morin, Rempel & Yawnghwe. Also
included are poetry drafts, interviews, poetics, short biographies
and author photographs as well as translations of select poems into
French, Thai, Bulgarian and Tahltan. These poets have previously
appeared in Rocksalt, An Anthology of Contemporary BC Poetry
