The poet and author Bruce Fraser was born in Vancouver and raised in the border town of White Rock. Educated at the University of British Columbia, he practised law in Prince George and Vancouver. His Chilcotin trilogy: On Potato Mountain, The Jade Frog, and Noah's Raven was influenced by the Indigenous peoples living in the Cariboo Chilcotin, where he has a ranch.Fraser's poetic mix causes us, at times, to weep or to laugh out loud, to question God, and to be at one with nature. His poems touch on the closeness of family and the mythologies of nations on planet Earth, while shining a light on what underlies our transitory existence.
