The Echoing Years completes a trilogy of anthologies combining the poetry of Ireland and Newfoundland & Labrador. The Backyards of Heaven (2003) and However Blow the Winds (2004) have sold out. This new volume expands its coverage to poetry from across Canada, including French-Canadian (partly in translation) and Aboriginal work, published since 1980. It contains 172 poets, (87 Canadian, 85 Irish), and includes translations/versions of Dante, Virgil, and eastern European poets.

The Editors:

John Ennis, Head of the School of Humanities at the Waterford Institute of Technology in Ireland, chairs their Centre for Newfoundland and Labrador Studies. He has co-edited all three anthologies.

Randall Maggs teaches English at Sir Wilfred Grenfell College in Corner Brook. In 2008 Brick Books published his second poetry collection Night Work: The Sawchuk Poems.

Stephanie McKenzie teaches English at Sir Wilfred Grenfell College in Corner Brook, and is the founder of Scop Productions Inc., a west coast Newfoundland publishing and production house.
