Emily Isaacson

Emily Isaacson’s poetry is classic Canadiana literature. After 35 years of crafting poetry, her lyrical voice and practiced ear produce a carefree and lilting result: the sea, the journey, the ship all come to life in this postmodern poetry with romance and spiritual transcendence as destination.

The Wild Lily Institute was founded for research and education in literature, the arts, and medicine. Located in the Fraser Vallley of British Columbia, we feature the writing and analog photography of Emily Isaacson, her work and legacy. A regular visitor of Westminster Abbey here in the valley, her writing reflects the solitude and mythology of the Canadian wilderness, the sea, the stars and the First Nations people.

When I started a business (around my patented product for high-end wall coverings) I did a lot of traveling, domestic and international. A lot of time in airports, airplanes, hotels and restaurants. Since I wasn't a carouser, I began reading novels to make the time bearable. And loved them. After reading maybe a thousand or so, and having demonstrated my creativeness through marketing pieces for my business, I wondered why I couldn't write. With my business sold, I had the time.

I love my new vocation and hope readers will get as much enjoyment from reading my writings as I enjoy writing them. I avoid anything too graphic, so your kids can enjoy the read too. But I don't write for kids, I write about real situations for real people. Try one.
