Founded in a Winnipeg pub in 1976 to publish chapbooks by Manitoba poets, Turnstone Press has become one of the most highly regarded book publishers in western Canada, publishing not only poetry but also fiction, literary criticism and non-fiction. In 1998 Turnstone Press launched Ravenstone Books, an imprint dedicated to mysteries, thrillers, and noir fiction. Turnstone Press is committed to our

literary and cultural role in Manitoba and Canada and our mandate reflects this. We publish only Canadian authors or landed immigrants, we strive to publish a significant number of new writers, to publish in a variety of genres, and to publish 50 per cent Manitoba writers and/or books with Manitoba content. At Turnstone Press we pride ourselves on taking chances with new writers and we've had our share of successes doing so. Turnstone Press has launched the careers of many Canadian writers, including, Di Brandt, John Gould, Lawerence Hill, Sylvia Legris, Margaret Sweatman, Armin Wiebe. Our books and authors have won or been nominated for Governor General's Literary Awards, the Commonwealth Writer's Prize, The Giller Prize, the Leacock Prize, IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, The Lambda Awards, The Rogers Trust Prize, The Relit Awards, and numerous regional awards. Despite the risk inherent in publishing new Canadian literary writing, Turnstone Press remains committed to pursuing and promoting new, thought-provoking authors and books. Canadian writing has never been more exciting, and Turnstone Press is proud to have been a part of its history and keenly looks forward to the future.

The poetry and prose in Kim Fahner's The Pollination Field "—a mixture of feminist fairy tales and fantastical verse—explore the cyclical, diligent lives of pollinators or use the bee as an observer or fifth business into scenes of human life," says reviewer Bryn Robinson. Pollination Field isn't a sombre read; rather, it's "imaginative and reflective — perfect for a fall afternoon tucked away after a long, busy summer."
