Each volume of the Lyrik Poetry Series will offer
a generous selection of some of the best work, past and present, by Canada’s foremost Mennonite poets, plus an afterword by the poet and a detailed critical
introduction by the editor.

These volumes will present a “best of” collection ideal for those who wish an introduction to an influential poet and will also be ideal for classroom use. Many of the poems will be reentering the public sphere, as original publications may no longer be available. The Lyrik volumes will present a range of poems from across the poet’s career, arranged within
themes which have been determined in conversation with the poets themselves.
