Description

Collected Poems provides a portrait in lyrical sketches of the cultural life of the last half of the Twentieth Century. Avoidance of literary fashion may have left Grier less recognizable than many of his contemporaries, but he has nevertheless contributed greatly to the emergence of Canadian literature, as this collection attests.

About the author

Eldon Grier has not been widely recognized for his lyrical cosmopolitanism and his affinity for avant-garde painters, but for some he was a major figure in Canadian literature. The son of a Canadian army captain during World War One, painter/poet Eldon Grier was born in London, England in 1917 but raised in Montreal. He died in Vancouver in late July, 2001 at age 84.
