Description: New and interesting Maritime poets have emerged in this last decade. Some figures that were once prominent now seem less so, while others of the same era have won a permanent place in the imaginative life of this region. Poetic Voices of the Maritimes is mindful of all these voices, and offers wonderful work by poets like Maxine Tynes and Elizabeth Bishop, Lesley Choyce and Milton Acorn, Richard Lemm and Alden Nowlan. All twenty-two poets in this volume are united by the passionate effect the Maritimes have had on their imaginations -- their voices, new or renewed, continue to explore and reflect our powerful attachment to this land. A biography of each poet accompanies their poems.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
