No Feather, No Ink : After Riel

Batoche and Riel have evoked and provoked a diversity of responses from some of Canada's finest poets over the past century, and this groundbreaking anthology presents them in one volume.

"No Feather, No Ink...gives us a good sampling of the first hundred years in the Canadian consciousness."

This anthology is a must for all students engaged in the study of the Canadian Identity.
