The University of Manitoba professor Paul (Gerhart) Hiebert (1892-1987) was born in Pilot Mound, MB. In 1947, his satirical classic Sarah Binks was published, followed by a sequel two decades later, Willows Revisited. His Saskatchewan poetess parodies herself and her origins have been ascribed to many sources including Edna Jacques, Pauline Johnson, and even Emily Dickinson! Later, Peter Gzowski used to feature Hiebert and Binks from time to time on C.B.C. Radio’s Morningside program.
