Davey, Frank, 1940-. Margaret Atwood: a feminist poetics. Vancouver: Talonbooks, 1984, 178pp., PAPERBACK, very good, paper lightly tanned. New Canadian criticism series. - Margaret Atwood s writing, according to Davey, reveals not only an extraordinary facility with language, but also a deep mistrust of it as something shaped by an instrumental and largely male culture. Her language directs its readers to a hidden level of itself - unspoken, symbolic, gestural - and away from denotative meaning. In discussions of her poetry, fiction, short stories, and criticism, Davey offers a glossary of recurrent Atwood images and symbols that can open this hidden level in nearly all of her writing. frank davey, editor of the critical journal Open Letter, is also an editor at Coach House Press and a co-director of the Swift Current literary database project. For the past fourteen years he has worked at York University, where he teaches Canadian literature and creative writing. 9780889222175 ISBN 0889222177.
