Bruce Hunter
 Bruce Hunter grew up in Calgary, Alberta and lived in British Columbia before settling down in Stratford, Ontario. After graduating from high school in 1970, Hunter worked at blue-collar jobs, including as a labourer, equipment operator, gardener and Zamboni driver, living on Gabriola and Vancouver Islands and Southern Ontario until moving to Toronto in 1980 where he studied film and literature at York University. From 1981 to 1985 Hunter worked as Poetry Editor and Poetry Reviews Editor for Toronto-based Writers' Quarterly. He has taught creative writing at the Banff School of Fine Arts and York University. His work, which often deals with blue-collar life, has appeared in thirty journals including Canadian Fiction Magazine, The Canadian Forum, Dandelion, The Fiddlehead, Grain, NeWest Review, Poetry Canada Review, Waves, and Zymergy. Country Music Country was Hunter's first book of short fiction, but he has published several collections of poetry, including Benchmark (Thistledown, 1982), and The Beekeeper's Daughter (Thistledown, 1986). email the author
