Paperback. Condition: New. First. The Stunted Strong is a new edition of the first book published by Fiddlehead Poetry Books, the company that became Goose Lane Editions. Fred Cogswell, its author, was also the company's founder. The Stunted Strong is a sixteen-sonnet chapbook. The first and last poems create a context for the fourteen inner sonnets, each of which is a vivid sketch of an inhabitant of a rural community in the St. John River valley. The sequence portrays country people confined by frustration, obsession, and small victories, and it expresses in their characters the illimitable dreams and thwarting limitations of the human condition. The publication of the second edition of The Stunted Strong marks Goose Lane's 50th anniversary and commemorates Fred Cogswell's lifelong devotion to poetry. The text is introduced by Robert Gibbs, Cogswell's friend, colleague, and fellow poet. Designed and printed by Gaspereau Press, the new edition of The Stunted Strong is a work of art in its own right.…

The text is introduced by Robert Gibbs, Cogswell's friend, colleague, and fellow poet. Designed and printed by Gaspereau Press, the new edition of The Stunted Strong is a work of art in its own right. In 1954, Fred Cogswell and a group of students and faculty associated with The Fiddlehead magazine founded Fiddlehead Poetry Books ?to give the public a chance to read the work of new Canadian poets.? The first volume was Cogswell's own first collection, The Stunted Strong, a sonnet sequence that sets vivid sketches of country people confined by frustration, obsession, and small victories against the illimitable dreams and thwarting limitations of the human condition. This second edition of The Stunted Strong is published to commemorate the life that Fred Cogswell so generously devoted to poetry and its makers. Between 1958, when he became the publisher of Fiddlehead Poetry Books, and 1981, when he retired, he published more than three hundred collections. He launched the careers of Frances Itani, Roo Borson, Joy Kogawa, Marilyn Bowering, Don Gutteridge, and Alden Nowlan, and he published early books by Al Purdy, Norman Levine, Dorothy Livesay, and David Solway. In 1982, Peter Thomas became the new publisher, and, deciding to publish prose as well as poetry, he changed the imprint to Goose Lane Editions.
