About this title

Synopsis

With contributions from 35 poets, this diverse compilation features the spectrum of Canadian poetry from the last hundred years. Representing various styles and traditions, it explores a lineage of modernist, multilingual, and culturally pluralist perspectives. Writers from the First Nations, the Caribbean-Canadian, and the Africadian-or Black Canadian-communities present an eloquent and cosmopolitan collection that will redefine the connections between Canada and the poetry world at large.
