Helen Humphreys started her writing career in poetry. Her four collections, Gods and Other Mortals (1986), Nuns Looking Anxious, Listening to Radios (1990), The Perils of Geography (1995), and Anthem (1999), were published over thirteen years. Anthem won the Canadian Authors Association Award for Poetry.
After Anthem, Humphreys moved primarily into fiction and nonfiction, though the lyrical quality of her prose carries the influence of her poetry background.
