THREE WINDOWS WEST, Poetry by Dick Diespecker, is Canadian poetry, not only because much of it sings of Canada and Canadians, and that it was written by a Canadian, but most important, because it is as blunt and forthright as Canada itself.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Richard Alan Diespecker (March 1, 1907 to Feb 11, 1973) was a Canadian novelist and journalist. Born in Adstock, England, Diespecker was educated at the University of British Columbia. After a brief career in teaching, in 1927 he became a journalist with The Vancouver Star. Diespecker later joined the staffs of The Vancouver News and The Victoria Colonist. He began broadcasting in Vancouver at CJOR, which produced many of his radio plays. Diespecker had a brief army career during World War II and is best known by veterans for his "Prayer for Victory" which received acclaim in the United States and in Canada.
