"A deaf-mute talking to himself in sign language" is an image evoked in a poem about "Thirty-Six Ways of Looking at [this city]", and that poem is by Phyllis Gotlieb.
"A deaf-mute talking to himself in sign language" is an image evoked in a poem about "Thirty-Six Ways of Looking at [this city]", and that poem is by Phyllis Gotlieb. This city's current Poet Laureate was shortlisted for the 2011 Griffin Poetry Prize for her work Ossuaries, and this city titles an unfinished trilogy whose first novel is narrated by the ghost of Connor Gilmartin. One novel set in this city depicts the lives of Macedonian immigrants such as Nicolas Temelcoff, as they help build one of this city's notable landmarks, the Prince Edward viaduct. For 10 points, name this setting of such novels as Murther and Walking Spirits  and In the Skin of a Lion, the current home of Dionne Brand and Margaret Atwood, which is also Canada's largest city.
