Rocksalt

If there was ever any doubt that British Columbia contains a considerable number of poets, Rocksalt: An Anthology of Contemporary B.C. Poetry—with its roster of 108 B.C. poets—will surely set the record straight. This epic anthology, which tours the entire west coast, brings all of the up-and-coming poets to the forefront.
