We Who Can Fly: Poems, Essays and Memories in Honour of Adele Wiseman

We Who Can Fly: Poems, Essays and Memories in Honour of Adele Wiseman (Cormorant, 1997).

A tribute to Adele Wiseman, winner of the Governor-General's Award (1958) for her first novel The Sacrifice, this book documents Adele's gift for friendship and her contribution to the literary community during her years as Director of the Writing Program at Banff.

 

 

We Who Can Fly lays the groundwork for a new assessment of Adele Wiseman's work, through critical and personal essays, through interviews and through Wiseman's writing, including her brilliant last story "Goon of the Moon and the Expendables" and selections from previously unpublished poetry.

This anthology won the Betty and Morris Aaron Award for Best Scholarship on a Canadian Subject (Jewish Book Awards, 1998).
