Clean, tight, unmarked; 1" tear with associated creasing to bottom front inside corner of dust jacket; name on ffep; otherwise very minimal wear; Ontario does not have a homogeneous culture, but rather a conglomerate of ethnic cultures and rural and urban traditions. In this book, Greenhill describes and evaluates the significance of Ontario folk verse, suggesting that it provides a method for creating community solidarity and communicating cultural values and expectations. "The author's examples of the use of folk poetry clearly and effectively demonstrate the genre's meaning, and her examination of the Terry Fox poems reflects the significance of this material and its subject in Canadian culture as a whole." - Carole Carpenter
