About This Item
James Reaney (1926-2008) was a Canadian poet and playwright. Emerging onto the scene in 1949 with his book of poetry entitled The Red Heart, Reaney would go on to challenge the expectations set by his first foray into poetry by producing innovative and unexpected works. In addition to his poetry, he was also a successful teacher, as well as a lyricist, musician, and painter. In his poetry he particularly focused on life in rural areas and small communities.
This collection edited by Germaine Warkentin was the first significant collection of Reaney's poetry. It is divided into the following sections: I. Poems 1945-49; II. The Red Heart; III. Poems 1951-60; IV. A Suit of Nettles; V. Poems 1960-65; VI. Twelve Letters to a Small Town; VII. The Dance of Death At London, Ontario; VIII. Two Chapters from an Emblem Book; IX. Some Dramatic Verse 1953-71.
This volume is in near fine condition, however it does not have its dust jacket.
