Innovative and stimulating, the New BC Poets series will publish

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
