This is the fourth edition of Gary Geddes' highly successful anthology of Canadian poetry. All of the poets included in the previous editions have been retained, although their selections have been carefully reconsidered. Among new poets added to this edition are Anne Carson, Dionne Brand, Daphne Marlatt, bpNichol, Louise Bernice Halfe, and Fred Wah. Most poets are represented by several poems, to allow students to gain greater understanding and appreciation for their work.
