We would like to thank long-time poetry editor Iain Higgins for a wonderful term and to extend a warm welcome to his successor, Stephen Collis.

 

Collis is an award-winning poet, academic, and activist. He lectures at Simon Fraser University, specializing in contemporary poetry, poetics, and American literature. His ongoing Barricades Project includes Anarchive (2005), The Commons (2008), On the Material (2010)—which won the 2011 Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize—and To the Barricades (2013).

 

Collis is a former member of the Kootenay School of Writing and was a Jack and Doris Shadbolt Fellow at Simon Fraser University in 2011/2012.

 

We look forward to the bright and exciting directions he will bring to Canadian Literature’s poetry. Welcome to the team, Stephen Collis!
