She has also penned four books of poetry, all published by Brick Books: Anthem, The Perils of Geography, Gods and Other Mortals, and Nuns Looking Anxious, Listening to Radios.
About Leaving Earth, Publishers Weekly wrote: "Humphreys has captured the courage and commitment of aviation's unsung pioneers, the sights and sounds of earth and sky and the somber mood of 1930s Toronto, all with a precise lyricism that amply demonstrates her talent as a poet.
Humphreys has received the Governor's General Prize for her poetry, and the Vancouver Sun named her Best Young Canadian Novelist in 1997.
