Description

An exciting collection of contemporary Canadian poetry which includes work by Don Coles, Rhea Tregebov, Ann Diamond, Marie-Claire Blais, Peter Dale Scott, David Solway, Jan Conn, and George Ellenbogen. The critics... On Susan Glickman: "One of the finest of the new generation of Canadian writers." —Journal of Commonwealth Literature On Charlotte Hussey: "A modern Maenad, a Dionysiac reveller for whom language is as much a means of intoxication as expression; a poet who understands her craft." —Vancouver Sun On Michael Harris: His "imagery is superb; his poems should be required reading for the hordes of poetasters churning out old clichés." —Canadian Author and Bookman
