Miriam Waddington's career as a writer began in the 1940s. In the years since, she has produced a body of work that has made her one of the most widely read poets in Canada. Her ninth collection-the first since Driving Home in 1972-is about light and silence, about places, and, most importantly, about solitude without loneliness, space without emptiness, death without fear. Her verbal discipline, imagery, warmth, toughness, and humour; her multicultural sympathies; her optimism and honesty-all are qualities that make her poetry fresh and intimate.

Poetry

This is the first annotated anthology of Canadian poetry and prose, from the eighteenth century to the present. Volume I contains the work of 40 writers. Some 200 pages are devoted to poetry and 350 pages to prose, which includes not only short fiction but five autobiographical pieces, eight essays of literary criticism, and a play. There are many cross-connections - in related subject matter, in the criticism and memoirs that reflect on other selections - so that the anthology offers a firm context for the study not only of individual writers but of the literary culture of Canada. With introductions to the writers and their works, and annotations.

History & Criticism

This is the first annotated anthology of Canadian poetry and prose, from the eighteenth century to the present. Volume II contains extensive selections of works by some fifty writers, ranging from Sheila Watson (b. 1909) to bp Nichol (b. 1944). Besides a generous complement of poetry and short fiction, there are eight essays of literary criticism and one full-length play. As in Volume I. there are many cross-connections - in related subject matter, in the criticism that reflects on other selections - so that the anthology offers a firm context for the study not only of individual writers, but of the vital literary culture of contemporary English Canada. With introductions to the writers and their works, annotations, and a supplementary section: Poets for Further Reading.
