Six Poets of British Columbia Harold Rhenisch is a Cascadian writer born in a blizzard early in and raised by two humans, a dog, an orchard, a pine tree and a mountain at Blind Creek, in Sməlqmex country. He has been pruning fruit trees since When he started writing poetry in , he started pruning words and began creating words as trees, an experience he shares with the Norwegian poet Olav Hauge and which he recorded in his The Tree Whisperer: Writing Poetry by Living in the World. From he studied Creative Writing at the University of Victoria. From he worked in the vineyards and orchards of the Okanagan and the Similkameen, eventually running his own pruning, grafting, and nursery business. In he moved to the Secwepemc lakes district, in the sky, and in to Waiwaikum territory across from Cape Mudge. After a trip up the nkʷentaikʷt from Astoria to the nməlqaitkʷ at Cawston in , he moved back to the grasslands. He lives now in a big garden (or a small orchard; it&#;s hard at times to tell) above Canim Bay on the kɬusxənitkʷ.

April 07th, It’s a beautiful day in the Cariboo, full of sunshine, colour and wind. Turning off Highway 97 towards Mile—-formerly a religious housing project financed by Block Brothers Realty—-I am struck by the horizontality of the landscape, the rolling grasslands, the shallow lake, the low trees in the distance. Having lived previously in the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys, Harold Rhenisch, father of two daughters and author of eleven books, has had a long and fruitful association with B.C. Interior landscapes and orchards. Having studied Creative Writing at UVic, he’s not a city guy—by choice—and was born in Keremeos in As I drive into the spacious yard, I see evidence of Rhenisch the horticulturalist. Fruit trees, ornamentals, flowerbeds and berry patches grow in seemingly careless profusion. The disorder of the yard extends to the burgeoning disorder of the lakeshore, full of willows, bulrushes and red-winged blackbirds. On the covered deck that overlooks the lake, we sit on creaky but comfortable wooden chairs, sharing the deck space with several boxes of Okanagan apples.
