"The poetry of P.K. Page has been familiar to readers since the 1940's when she emerged as one of the most talented of the Montreal Preview Group. The present collection is a definitive one. As well as such widely-known classics as "Photos of a Salt Mine", "T-Bar" and "Arras", it includes poems from the little magazines of the period, poems written at the time but not published, and recent works which have never before appeared in book form. Page's work dazzles with a series of wittily observed interior landscapes, and she commands an adroit, distinctive poetic style. Her technical gifts underline important themes: she is a writer critically, sometimes satirically, aware of the society that surrounds her and an angrier poet than we had supposed..."--

As one of the formative periods in Canadian history, the late nineteenth century witnessed the birth of a nation, a people, and a literature. In this study of Canada's first 'school' of poets, D.M.R. Bentley combines archival work, including extensive research in periodicals and newspapers, with close readings of the work of Charles G.D. Roberts, Archibald Lampman, Bliss Carman, William Wilfred Campbell, Duncan Campbell Scott, and Frederick George Scott. Bentley chronicles the formation, reception, national and international successes, and eventual disintegration (after the 1895 'War Among the Poets') of the Confederation Group, whose poetry forever changed the perception and direction of Canadian literature. With the aid of biographical, political, and sociological analyses, Bentley's literary history delineates the group's political, aesthetic, and thematic dispositions and characteristics, and contextualizes them not only within Canadian history and politics, but also within contemporary intellectual and literary currents, including Romantic nationalism, 'Canadianism', and poetic formalism. Bentley casts new light on the poets' commonalities - such as their debt to Young Ireland, their commitment to careful workmanship, and their participation in the American mind-cure movement - as well as on their most accomplished and anthologized poems from 1880 to 1897. In the process, he presents a compelling case for the literary and historical importance of these six men and their poems in light of Canada's cultural and political past, and defends their right to be known as Canada's first poetic fraternity at a time when Canada was striving to achieve literary and national distinction. The Confederation Group of Canadian Poets, 1880-1897 is an erudite and innovative work of literary history and critical interpretation that belongs on the bookshelf of every serious scholar of literary studies.

"Who has heard of Henry Smalley Sarson? His name does not appear in standard histories and critical assessments of Canadian poetry; and it is doubtful whether a single copy of From Field and Hospital, his slim volume of poetry published in December 1916, could be located anywhere in Canada. Yet Sarson's war poetry has been praised by the critic D.S.R. Welland in his study of Wilfred Owen, the great British poet of the First World War, for achieving "objective realism" in "The Village" and other poems. Indeed, the best of Sarson's war-poems are undoubtedly among the finest written by a Canadian, and should be widely known." --from the Introduction by Alan Bishop Long out of print, the poetry of Henry Smalley Sarson has languished in obscurity for more than a century. Sarson, the scion of a prominent British vinegar-making family, had emigrated to Canada at age 22, taking up a variety of jobs, including working on a ranch and breaking in horses for the RCMP. When war broke out in Europe in 1914, he immediately enlisted, reaching the front nine months later as a private in the Canadian Expeditionary Force. During his service, Sarson used his literary and dramatic talents to write skits for performance by his regiment as well as poems, some of which were published in military magazines. After being gassed during the Battle of Ypres--so severely he suffered the after-effects for the remainder of his life--he continued to write poetry. Discharged from the Army as an invalid in 1916, Sarson never returned to Canada. He published two collections of his poems, From Field and Hospital (1916) and A Reliquary of War (1937). Henry Smalley Sarson died in 1967. The present volume, edited by Alan Bishop, professor emeritus of literature at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, brings together the best of Sarson's poetry, drawing both on archival research and correspondence and a meeting with Sarson's son Desmond. Reliquary sheds new light both on the life and career of an undeservedly forgotten poet as well as on the First World War, the consequences of which continue to shape our modern world.

Coal and Roses is a collection of 21 intricately formal glosas, arranged to explore the endless possibilities of language. In this slim volume, P. K. Page offers the reader a wildly eclectic overview of the history of poetry, as well as a master class in the evolution of language as evidenced in the poet's `communion' with her attributed predecessors. Coal and Roses offers a collection of poems that stand by themselves as commentaries on many of the issues endemic to the varying times, places and circumstances of the aforementioned attributees. Life, death, a palpable need for belonging and the inevitable passage of time are all to be encountered, as one might expect in a work that ranges from the sort of trivial, light-hearted sympathy for the trials of day-to-day life to much weightier reflection on the probability of a greater existence. The use of the glosa form serves to emphasize both the continuity and the evolution of life, and of art. Included are twenty-one glosas, borrowing on the works of nineteen artists. Spanning numerous centuries, movements, genres and corners of the world, Page explores the works of Wallace Stevens, Theodore Roethke, Margaret Cavendish and Akhmatova amongst others. Coal and Roses is an exquisite work, respectful of the past and hopeful for the future.
