George Bowering has been provoking and inspiring writers and readers for half a century. While he may be better known for his poetry and fiction, the essay holds an equally important place in his work.
Writing and Reading includes discussions of writers (ranging from Michael Ondaatje and Alice Munro to Oana Avasilichioei and Robert Kroetsch), difficult poetry and close reading (from Gerard Manley Hopkins to Judith Fitzgerald and David Bromige), Vancouver's poetry pre-history, making lists and collecting, and the importance of our National Archives.
Whether writing about fiction or poetry, film or music, Bowering's message, delivered with his inimitable style, is the same: for best results, pay attention.
