Horizon blends stories, poems, essays, a play, and historical material from sixty writers to portray the social and literary tradition of a unique region of Canada. In the process of examining both a state of mind and the varied imaginative responses to a sometimes hostile but often generous and awe-inspiring environment, this anthology celebrates the commitment to survival that is at the core of the Prairie experience.
Born in 1940, Ken Mitchell grew up on the outskirts of Moose Jaw, and worked in journalism briefly before studying sociology and literature at the University of Regina. He became a teacher of creative writing in 1970, and has taught creative writing and literature ever since, in Banff, Victoria, Scotland, and China, besides Regina where he teaches at present. Since 1972, Mitchell has released over twenty books of fiction, poetry, and drama, over ten of which have been plays. In 1999 he was inducted into the Order of Canada for his contribution to the arts. He co-founded the Saskatchewan Writers Guild in 1969, Grain Magazine in 1973, the Saskatchewan Writers/Artists Colony in 1978, and the Saskatchewan Playwrights Centre in 1982.
