Scouts Are Cancelled: The Annapolis Valley Poems & One Short Story

by John Stiles

Scouts Are Cancelled is a richly humorous book of poetry that examines what happens when a small Nova Scotian farm community is corrupted by a greedy developer trying to sell off farmland to build a subdivision. Stiles vividly brings to life the dialect and characters of the Valley as no writer has yet managed to do. Working with ease in the vernacular of the regional writer, Stiles manages in these Annapolis Valley poems to speak for all of us.
