About This Item
Toronto: Oxford University Press , 1983. Soft cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. 477 pages, index. Apart from a neat ownership signature, clean, unmarked and solid as though unopened. Second impression with corrections. "This New Oxford Book of Canadian Verse in English is the first "definitive" Canadian anthology to appear since A.J.M. Smith's Oxford Book of Canadian Verse of 1960. Like its predecessor, this volume contains an overview of the field from the early Victorians like Goldsmith and Heavysege to the Confederation group (Carman, Drummond, Roberts, Lampman, etc.); the pre-World War II poets (from McRae through Knister, Scott, Birney, and Smith to Livesay and others); the familiar names of the fifties and sixties (Layton, Cohen, Purdy, Atwood, Ondaatje, MacEwen, Lee, Bisset, etc.); and the new poets of the past decade who seem to be the poets of promise (including Pier Giorgio di Cicco, Mary di Michele, Chris Dewdney, Roo Borson, and others)."
