History
Norm Sibum was born on July 2, 1947, in Oberammergau, Germany.
He is a poet. He grew up in Germany, Alaska, Utah, and Washington before immigrating to Vancouver, Canada, during the Vietnam war era in 1968. Along with Bruce Serafin, he founded the Vancouver Review in 1989. He has published several volumes of poetry in Canada, and two others, “The November Propertius” and “In Labans Field”, in England (Carcanet Press, Manchester). His 2002 collection, “Girls and Handsome Dogs,” won the Quebec Writers’ Federation A. M. Klein Prize Award for Poetry. “The Pangborn Defence” (2008) was short-listed for the same award. A joint U.S.-Canadian citizen, Sibum has been living in Montreal, Quebec, since 1994.
