Publisher description
Distinguished in part by its attention to language of place, natural science, local flora and fauna, land and seascapes, and receptivity to aboriginal forebears, much of the literature from British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest region of the US is increasingly informed by cross-border and multicultural perspectives. Within the context of the region's still relatively young written history, these vivid signifiers may be regarded as effectively constituting a previously undefined "literacy of place." The nature of the material is diverse and the aim has been to compile a kind of "nurse-log" compendium: an anthology rich in critical thinking, archival memory, creation myths, and homage to celebrated elders of the region's literary tribe. From this trail-clearing work, further explorations can begin
