Paddle Tracks is a collection of poems about canoeing by three Canadian poets:  Peter Gilchrist (Alberta), Peter Karwacki (Ontario) and Ken Corbett (New Brunswick).  They produced this anthology specifically to support the Canadian Canoe Museum, to which all proceeds are donated.

(Paddle Tracks)

These poems revisit magic moments on the water and their imagery makes paddling a reality for those who do not paddle.
