Sid Marty

Sid Marty’s work has been published in periodicals including Equinox, Canadian Geographic, Reader’s Digest, Canadian Business, and National Geographic Traveler. In 1999, he won the Banff Mountain Book Festival’s Jon Whyte Award for Mountain Literature for Switchbacks: True Stories from the Canadian Rockies. Sky Humor is Sid Marty’s first book of poems for many years. It’s about raising a family, fixing the roof, chopping firewood and hunting for grub. It’s also about love and death — universal poetic preoccupations. His other poetry books include Headwaters and Nobody Danced with Miss Rodeo. Sid Marty lives and writes in the foothills of southwestern Alberta.
