ISBN: 9780889770966

This is an anthology of English verse from the Middle Ages to recent times, from both sides of the Atlantic. Special emphasis has been given to poetry by writers of the Great Plains region (both Canadian and American) and by Aboriginal poets. Intended for introductory classes, poems have been selected with an eye to works--not necessarily easy ones--which address experiences and ideas more readily available to beginning university students and which are more direct and straightforward in expression than many currently anthologized.

The New Wascana Anthology is named for the Cree word "oskana," meaning "bones,"* but this anthology is no literary graveyard. It will introduce you to stories, poems, and essays that can be discussed over drinks, or used to impress friends years after leaving English 100 behind. Offering a taster's choice of the best Canadian writing, with a special focus on Aboriginal and Prairie writers, this anthology includes pieces selected to introduce you to the English literary canon. Going back hundreds of years, the oldest poems included here have no known author, while the youngest writer is a recent university graduate. Building on the bones of the canon (including all of Canada's Man Booker Prize-winners and newest Nobel Laureate), The New Wascana Anthology features writers such as Flannery O'Connor, Thomas King, Carmine Starnino, and Ursula K. Le Guin who will challenge your worldview. Most importantly, this anthology is about turning the page, opening your mind, and revelling in the pleasures of reading. *The bones referred to are the bones of plains bison, a species that once numbered in the tens of millions on the Great Plains.

Genre: Poetry
ISBN: 0771057237

A playfully inventive and invigorating debut collection of poetry from a finalist for the CBC Poetry Prize and The Walrus Poetry Prize. With settings ranging from the ancient sites and lavish museums of Europe to the inner-city neighbourhood in North Central Regina where the poet grew up, the poems in Cassidy McFadzean’s startling first collection embrace myth and metaphysics and explore the contradictory human impulses to create art and enact cruelty. A child burn victim is conscripted into a Grade Eight fire safety seminar; various road-killed animals make their cases for sainthood; and the fantastical visions in Hieronymus Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights move off the canvas and onto the speaker’s splendid pair of leggings. Precociously wise, formally dexterous, and unrepentantly strange, the poems in Hacker Packer present a wholly memorable poetic debut.

"A Gay and Gray Anthology looks back to record the feelings, struggle, strategies and adventures of the elders of our LGBTQ community. Its description of the world that existed before diversity became a watchword enchants us with its insight and originality. This anthology grew out of the desire to preserve and celebrate out heritage; as time passes these memories become ever more precious. These artifacts of the mind take many forms as evidenced by this publication. A Gay and Gray Anthology includes poetry, fiction, memoir, social criticism, and even a performance piece. The offerings are born of the heart, yet there is humor as well. Hopefully, there is something for everyone."--Page 4 of cover.
