Hyland has been the volunteer artistic director of the Festival of Words for more than a decade and is a founder of Coteau Books and the Sage Hills Writing Experience. For the launch Hyland enlisted five other poets from writing groups he’s worked with. Left to right: Robert Currie, Jim McLean, Byrna Barclay, Paul Wilson, and Gary Hyland.
