About Bruce Rice – Bio

Bruce Rice is a previous Saskatchewan Poet Laureate (2019-2021). His most recent collection is The Vivian Poems (Radiant Press), on the life and work of street photographer, Vivian Maeir. He has been shortlisted for Saskatchewan Book of the Year, and received poem of year awards from both Grain Magazine and The Malahat Review (P.K. Page Award). Bruce writes about individual lives, community and how we are transformed by landscape even as we leave our footprints on it. While he takes himself seriously, the fifty trout he keeps in his brother’s dugout say he’s not fooling anyone. Bruce lives in Regina on Treaty 4 territory and the homeland of the Métis.
