Each would also have the potential to open out onto other books by the featured poet. That was the blueprint. The Series was launched in 2004, with Catherine Hunters selection of the poetry of Lorna Crozier, Before the First Word. There have been over thirty volumes since, offering introductions to a wide range of poets and poetries, and more are in the works. The Laurier Poetry Series is now the most comprehensive collection of Canadian poetries in print anywhere. All volumes are also available as digital editions.
We are continuously grateful for the consummate professionalism of the team at Wilfrid Laurier University Press which has ensured that these sometimes technically tricky volumes are presented accurately and beautifully. In particular, we would like to acknowledge the invaluable work of Managing Editor Rob Kohlmeier, who oversaw production of the Series from its beginning until his retirement in 2020. At this time we would also like to welcome Tanis MacDonald to the editorial team. Tanis is a professor of creative writing and English at WLU and a fine poet in her own right. What continues to inspire us about the LPS is its reception across the country. The love and art and passion and intimacy that thirty-plus editors and thirty-plus poets have brought to their volumes; the innumerable hours and conversations and meetings; the thousands of emails between and among poets and editors and the staff at WLU Press; the generous reviews in the countrys journals; the reception in classrooms and beyond: all of this eloquently speaks to the joyful proliferation of poetry in Canada today.
With each new volume, LPS hopes to continue to recognize the growing provenance of this wealth, the wide range of these riches. Our poetsand their readersdeserve nothing less. Brian Henderson and Neil Besner

I wasnt much of a hunter, so my father gave up on trying to make me one but my kookum told him to leave me alone, my path was taking me on another journey. I left Misipawistik when I was 16 to attend high school in Cranberry Portage, MB. I worked for the Department of Highways maintenance division during summer breaks from school. After graduation I worked for the Department of Highways Construction Surveys. The two years with the department, went from Misipawistik to Minago River, William Lake bush camps located next to Highway No. 6.
When that job was completed I was sent to Soab Lake, a little lake situated between Waboden and Thompson, MB. My next stop would have been a camp between Thompson and Nelson House but decided against it. I hadnt spent much time with my daughter who was born during my time at Minago River, it was time to go home. I worked for a summer with a carpenter contractor but it was not a full time position and with two daughters I had no option but seek a steady job. Later that summer I landed work with Manitoba Hydro and was sent to 8 Mile Channel, a bush camp located near Playgreen Lake and Lake Winnipeg, about a two hour drive from Norway House. When summer came I went back to Winnipeg, my partner was expecting and I decided against going back up north.
I found a job with the Department of Highways, Land Surveys Division, it meant being away from home but only five days a week and home on the weekends. Twenty three years later, Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) came calling to train their lands unit employees all about land surveys. It was to be for a two year stint which ended up being the strangest twenty two year career. The month before I retired I decided to put down on paper every place I either stayed in or visited while with the highways department and INAC, I stopped counting after reaching 140. The one thing that has remained with me all those times with the highways and INAC, nearly every motel, hotel I stayed in had the same lime green walls and same carpet design. Duncan
