The Watchman and Other Poems is L.M. Montgomery’s eighth book, first published by McClelland, Goodchild, and Stewart (now McClelland and Stewart) in November 1916. It consists of ninety-four poems, most of which had been previously published in North American periodicals between 1899 and 1916. It was preceded by Anne of the Island (1915) and followed by Anne’s House of Dreams (1917). It is also the first book by Montgomery to appear from a Canadian publisher.
