Of Poets & Pioneers is a moving story of the relationship between a grandfather and his grandson.

Will Massey let fate guide him in his life's journey, had misfortune change his charted course, and took opportunities as they presented themselves, all the while upholding the morals and values he learned as a child.

Inspired by a sense of adventure, he recorded many of his life's experiences in prose and poetry with humour and a respect for others. When Bill Massey was old enough, he began a remarkable journey with his grandfather.

Growing up in a troubled and poverty-stricken home in rural Manitoba, Bill escaped every summer to spend time with his grandfather, Will. The world opened wide for him under the inspiring influence of his friend and mentor, and their conversations and adventures sustained Bill until they could be together again.

Bill has written poetry and prose for the past thirty years and this is his second book, the first to include poetry. In many ways, he has stayed connected with his grandfather, and knows Will is with him as he writes this narrative about the two of them.

Of Poets & Pioneers is a story of a remarkable relationship that has stood the test of time and is an inspiration to all.
