Wolsak & Wynn
Wolsak and Wynn
is a literary press dedicated to publishing clear, passionate Canadian voices in poetry and non-fiction. We believe that poetry has the power to crystallize and express the diverse life of this country in the most concentrated form, while non-fiction unfurls these experiences for the reader.
Wolsak & Wynn published the 1997 collection The Church Not Made with Hands, and this past year re-released Naked Trees, originally published by The Netherlandic Press in 1990.

The St. Thomas Poetry Series
Poetry readings

Spring and fall readings soon developed and then continued on a regular basis for several years. Many well-known Canadian poets visited during that time and afterwards, including James Reaney, Colleen Thibaudeau, J. M. Cameron, Anne Corkett, Joy Kogawa, George Johnston, Richard Greene, Alice Major, Barry Dempster, Gail Fox, Douglas Lochhead, Richard Outram, Susan McCaslin, and many more.
The publication series began in 1996 and was intended to draw increased attention to Christian poetry in Canada.
The St. Thomas Poetry Series published John Terpstra’s collection Devil’s Punch Bowl in 1998. Selections from John’s work appear in Poetry and Spiritual Practice: Selections from Contemporary Canadian Poets edited by Susan McCaslin, and Poetry as Liturgy: An Anthology by Canadian Poets. edited by Margo Swiss
