Poetry, clothespins, eulogies, cash registers & Alice Munro

A collection of essays, reviews, personal reflections and interviews that offer a lively and insightful tour of contemporary Canadian poetry, the writing life and pockets of everyday culture. Find here appreciations and reviews of a who’s who of Canadian women poets, including Diana Brebner, M. Travis Lane, P.K. Page, the long-neglected Dorothy Roberts, and Gwendolyn MacEwen, whose dramatic life and death persist in overshadowing the legacy of her work. Anita writes on growing up as the daughter of a cash register repairman and offers up cultural studies on topics ranging from clothespins to eulogies to the experience of travelling in Poland while the country was in mourning for Pope John Paul II. She engages in probing discussions with eminent Canadian authors Stephanie Bolster, John Barton, Joan Thomas and Alice Munro. Order from any bookstore or click the link below.
