"What a wonderful, fresh voice Gillian Wigmore brings to the page. These wise poems know the push and pull within family. They reveal the tender truths behind the rough edges of small-town life. Her voice resonates with authenticity, and whether she is writing about a near drowning or ice fishing, she is ultimately writing about the complications of love. These are poems you will not soon forget." —Robert Hilles, Governor General’s Award-winner for Poetry 978-1-894759-23-6 $15.95 |

Chow brings us forward from those early days of Chinese settlements to present day when Chinese citizens are celebrated for their role in BC's history. 0-920576-62-1 $16.95 |

Sternwheelers and Canyon Cats Forbidding canyons, raging rapids and menacing rocks—this was the daily challenge that faced whitewater men who worked the wild rivers and creeks to bring freight and supplies to northern BC in the years before the Grand Trunk Railway. In particular, the Grand Canyon of British Columbia's Fraser River was infamous for swallowing at least 200 luckless occupants of rafts and small craft between the years 1862–1921. Sternwheelers and Canyon Cats: Whitewater Freighting on the Upper Fraser is the story of the "Canyon Cats" who made their living running the Grand Canyon and other equally dangerous waterways. 978-1-894759-20-5 $18.95 |
