520 $aAn anthology of Canadian nature poetry that surveys Canada's regions, poetries, histories, and peoples as they relate to the natural world. The poetic responses included here range from the heights of the sublime to detailed naturalistic observation, from the perspectives of pioneers and those who work in the woods and on the sea to the dismayed witnesses of ecological destruction, from a sense of terror in confrontation with the natural world to expressions of amazement and delight at the beauty and strangeness of nature, our home. The poems include excerpts from late-eighteenth-century colonial pioneer epics and selections from both well-known and more obscure nineteenth and twentieth-century writers. A substantial section is devoted to contemporary writers who are working within and creating a new ecopoetic aesthetic in the early twenty-first century.--From publisher description.
