Scree: The Collected Earlier Poems, 1962-1991

Scree offers the definitive compendium of Fred Wah's early poetic reflections on ethnicity, racial hybridity, language, and the local.

A founding member of the avant-garde TISH group, which helped turned Canadian poetry for the first time to a focus on language, Fred Wah's career has spanned six decades and a range of formal styles and preoccupations. Scree collects Wah's concrete and sound poetry of the 1960s, his landscape-centric work of the 1970s, and his ethnicity-oriented poems of the 1980s.

Fred Wah is the author of seventeen books of poetry. He served as Canada's Parliamentary Poet Laureate (2011–2013) and has mentored a generation of exciting new poets.

Jeff Derksen is a founding member of the Kootenay School of Writing.
