About this title

Synopsis

A broad, accessible collection of Canadian verse with concise biographical notes.

This anthology gathers poetry from the earliest Canadian voices to more recent writers, presenting a playscape of national imagery, personal longing, and reflections on land and life. Its thoughtful framing emphasizes devotion to native land, reverence for the sovereign, and the rich variety of themes that have shaped Canadian song.

The book is organized for easy browsing, with author names in alphabetical order and notes that provide chronology. It also explains the selection approach, including why some popular verses are included or excluded to keep the volume usable in form and size. These notes and selections aim to offer context while letting the poems speak for themselves, from intimate domestic scenes to broad, sweeping visions of history and place.

Vivid nature imagery and human moments framed in regularly structured verse.
Author-by-author selections with biographical notes that illuminate the poetry’s background.
A balance of national pride, personal yearning, and universal questions about life and meaning.
An editorial rationale that explains how the anthology was assembled for accessible reading.

Ideal for readers who want a representative cross-section of Canadian verse, along with helpful biographical context that enhances each poem’s meaning.

We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies.
