An independent scholar, Bringhurst is known for his award-winning translations of the Haida storytellers from islands in the Pacific Northwest.
Named by W.S. Merwin as a 2011 Witter Bynner Award-winner

Bringhurst is one of the world’s deep thinkers about words, letterforms, and their presentation.

His work has been translated into many languages.
gathers the best work from fifteen collections
The collection’s geography is wide-ranging: Japan, the Middle East, El Salvador, and British Columbia.

Bringhurst has long been fascinated with polyphonics: If conditions are right, it is good for poems to be spoken aloud. I mean that the poems themselves can benefit-and if that occurs, people may benefit too.

contains complete versions of, and special design treatments for, the polyphonic poems Conversations with a Toad and The Blue Roofs of Japan
