Synopsis

The narrative poem is a Canadian tradition that connects Crawford and Pratt with Atwood and Ondaatje. Reaney is the link. The key link. Selected Longer Poems completes the popular presentation of James Reaney's classic Poems and includes the well-known 'The Great Lakes Suite', 'A Message to Winnipeg', 'Twelve Letters to a Small Town,' and 'The Dance of Death at London, Ontario'.

A thoughtful introduction by Germaine Warkentin and illustrations by the poet and by Jack Chambers highlight this delightful companion to A Suit of Nettles and Selected Shorter Poems.
