Description
This substantial collection includes work from the fifty-year career of one of Canada's finest poets. This selection of Waddington's poetry embraces a wide range of subjects such as love, justice, womanhood, cities, and nuclear war, and draws on eleven volumes of poetry as well as a selection of uncollected poems.
About the author
Miriam Waddington was a trailblazer. She was the first Jewish Canadian woman to publish poetry written in English and participated in the rise and flowering of modernist Canadian poetry. Her work was groundbreaking for its conversational tone, stylistic play and its focus on female lived experience.
