Praise for the Best Canadian Series
“One of the best things about the end of the year is having a chance to look back. The three Best Canadian volumes . . . are a snapshot of some of the finest in Canadian writing this year.”
—Robert J. Wiersema, Toronto Star
“The wide range of writers, forms and themes represented here make it a great jumping-off point for readers who might be interested in Canadian poetry but are unsure about where to start.”
—Globe and Mail
“Fourteen compelling pieces that take on pressing issues: the climate crisis, medical assistance in dying, voluntary childlessness, addiction . . . ‘The most entrancing essays are intensely personal.’ For them to reach a broader audience, however, they must also find meaning in individual experiences. These pieces do just that.”
—Jadine Ngan, Literary Review of Canada
“The legacy for Canadian literature in the Best Canadian Stories series can’t be overstated. For years the collection has been the place to discover Canadian writers.”
—Winnipeg Free Press
“A superb collection of national thinkers, crackling with insight on the issues of the age.”
—Chatelaine
“One of the gifts America gave Canadian poetry was Molly Peacock, a famed poet who, upon arrival in Toronto, originated the Best Canadian Poetry series, transplanting your grand tradition here . . . You might not be able to get the news from this book, exactly, but you can find that which will keep you from corruption yourself.”
—Shane Neilson, Washington Independent Review of Books
“Each of the authors in Best Canadian Essays 2024 offers a particular style and perspective, but the essays work together to provide a picture of some of the issues Canadians have been facing. Many readers are likely to find something to interest them in this short collection of essays.”
—Susan Huebert, Winnipeg Free Press
“Buy it, or borrow it, but do read it.”
—Arc Poetry Magazine
“The arrival, late in the fall each year, of [this] collection is always cause for fanfare.”
—Quill & Quire
