Lifting the Latch by Sheila Stewart

For nearly eighty years Mont Abbot has lived and worked on the land near Enstone in Oxfordshire. This extraordinary record of his life and times was constructed by Sheila Stewart from a series of taped conversations.

Sheila Stewart's first collection of poetry, A Hat to Stop a Train, was published by Wolsak and Wynn in 2003. She also co-edited The Art of Poetic Inquiry (Backalong Books, 2012). Her work has been recognized by numerous literary awards, including the GritLit Poetry Competition, Scarborough Arts Council, Pottersfield Portfolio Short Poem Competition, Dan Sullivan Memorial Prize, and the Ray Burrell Award for Poetry. She has been widely published in such journals as The Malahat Review, The Antigonish Review, Grain, Descant, and The New Quarterly.

Stewart grew up in Stratford, Waterloo, and Montreal, taught in Libya and Swaziland, and worked in community-based adult literacy in Parkdale. She lives near High Park in Toronto, and is completing a poetic PhD at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto.
