These accomplished local and regional writers are each known for their beautifully crafted writing that rips to the core of life, love, loss and community. Their work is powerful and alternately rooted to the BC coast and Canadian art and culture.

The imagery and poignant insight in these books is a treat: In LeBlanc's short stories a tree cutter perched at the top of a giant fir, looking at a stunning ocean visa, pisses in his wealthy client’s flower bed. A single mother lives in a decrepit cabin on the beach by an oyster-lease and protests a proposed coal mine.

Hoogland's seventh book of poetry is an exquisite long poem in which a brother, who delights in summers at Deep Bay, causes a metaphoric shift in gravity by his dramatic absence. In Paré’s latest collection of beautifully-crafted evocative poetry, a 1950’s woman sculptor is an unapologetically renowned Canadian artist living with her equally talented woman lover.
