Best, most erudite collection of its kind,

This review is from: 15 Canadian Poets x 3 (Paperback)
This is at least the fourth iteration of this work, edited by the grand master of Canadian Literature, Gary Geddes.
No-one else could have produced such a thorough and informed work dealing with contemp. CDN poetry. One can get lost for days, following various poets as they created a true national poetic literature in the face of the onslaught of toxic American cultural imperialism. An exhaustive and through compilation, tho wonders why he forgot to include Douglas Isaac.
