The Confederation Poets: The Founding of a Canadian Poetry, 1880 to the First World War was published by Guernica Editions a month ago. It is available through bookshops across Canada. Of this book, Elspeth Cameron as written:
This book is amazing. I am very impressed at the way you contextualize Indigenous matters, something I, at least, have not seen before. Your handling of the D.C. Scott section is excellent, for that and other reasons. Also Pauline Johnson section.
You also introduce Hensley, Herbin, Harrison, Wetherald, and Coleman to the standard roster of Confed Poets.
You introduce each poet, in chronological order and draw connections between and among them.
I really, really think highly of this book. Bravo!
The book store price is $25. Here are the details:
