From Our Authors
The singular commitment to intellectually engaging work, regardless of challenges, together with the brilliant and worldly vision of its editors, has shaped BLP’s successful list and record from the beginning on. The books are wise, broad, sensitive, risk-taking, surprising, challenging and stimulating. I feel fortunate beyond belief to have found a home and champion for Inukshuk with BLP and have been humbled ever since by my inclusion with the list of authors they publish. I can think of no press more worthy of ongoing support.
