From the Country gathers essays, reportage, and literary sketches that explore life beyond Canada’s urban cores. Edited by Wayne Grady, this Harrowsmith anthology collects voices that reflect the rhythms, challenges, and quiet pleasures of rural communities—farmers, fishers, small‑town storytellers, and the writers who document them. With a mix of reportage and personal reflection, the book offers readers both practical observation and elegiac portraiture of landscapes and livelihoods that shape Canadian identity.
