His first book, Walking the Bypass: Notes on Place from the Side of the Road (2025) won the 2022 City of Regina Writing Award. His essay “The Bear on the Path to Tofino” won the 2025 McNally Robinson Bookseller’s Creative Nonfiction Contest. His second book, Walking Well, is forthcoming from Wolsak & Wynn.
“Walking the Bypass sings in Wilson’s descriptions of his treks, which are often entrancing, as well as in its histories of Crown-Indigenous relations.” –Literary Review of Canada
