DRIFT, Poems and Poets From The Comox Valley, is the name of a new anthology of poetry from writers in the Comox Valley. The book was published this fall by The Poem Factory in Royston and edited by Edwin Varney and Daniel J. Kirk.
It grew out of poetry readings and festivals in the Valley, which led the editors to the conclusion that there were far more accomplished poets in this area than they had anticipated. “Each time we met a poet or ran into somebody, we asked them to submit some poems,” says Varney. “Some of them I’ve never met.” The solution was then to capture some of this work on the page. In all, the collection features the writings of 38 poets based in the Comox Valley.
