This anthology brings together most of the major poets of twentieth century Canada. It affirms the distinctness of the felt and lived experience of these poets, often captured in innovative language and experimental modes of writing. At the same time, the plurality of their voices strongly reflects their situative anxieties in a land of cultural mosaic, restricted history, ethnic co-existence and other differential features. The poems, marked by intensity and authenticity, bear glowing testimony to how Canadian poetry coheres its diverse but sharable human concerns into controlled art.
