BRUCE KENNETH FILSON (1952-2021) had a diverse and colorful vocational life. He taught English and French in Canada and China and also worked as a writer, publisher, translator, civil servant, and salesman. In the early 1990s he co-founded and ran Nine Pines Publishing, which significantly contributed to Bahá’í literature. He was also a poet: his work was published in various journals and in two volumes (Angel Ruckus and Parallelograms) and won an award for Excellence in Bahá’í Studies in the creative writing category from the Association of Bahá’í Studies. Bruce’s dedicated service to the Cause of Bahá’u’lláh was a hallmark of his life and a guiding light to others.
In loving memory, we repropose in this issue a poem previously published by ABS.
