Description: Canadian poet, novelist, and essayist David Helwig (1938-2018) published close to fifty books and edited numerous others over a long career. He also wrote for television, worked at the CBC, taught at Queen’s University, was Poet Laureate of Prince Edward Island, and received the Order of Canada. Yet, his name remains little known outside the literary world. This volume presents new essays, an interview, a bibliography and brief biography, and revisits past reviews to explore the extensive range of Helwig’s talents and accomplishments, and to introduce his written body of work.
