Andrew Suknaski: July 30, 1942-May 3, 2012

We are sad to report that Chaudiere author Andrew Suknaski, from our perpetually-forthcoming selected poems, has died in Moose Jaw of natural causes. From Sarah Simison:

We are very sorry to report the death of Andy Suknaski in Moose Jaw on May 3, 2012. While Andy was most famous for WOOD MOUNTAIN POEMS, he first came to fame in Al Purdy's anthology of new writers, STORM WARNING. Andy was a strong believer in the small press movement, and early published such writers as Gary Hyland, Sid Marty and Glen Sorestad; he also influenced a whole generation of prairie writers with his own books of gritty, realistic poetry. Many writers owe a debt to him.
