Short Talks by Anne Carson

Elimination Dance by Michael Ondaatje

The Ledger by Robert Kroetsch

Here are 4 powerhouses of Canadian writing together in one place!!

Short Talks is Anne Carson’s first published book of poetry (1992) – she is still reading from it, most recently in a performance piece in New York in February 2008.

Elimination Dance by Michael Ondaatje was first published as a chapbook in 1975 – and it is still going strong; this is the bilingual travellers’ edition with translation into French by Lola Lemire-Tostevin.

Riffs by Dennis Lee is the story of a passionate love affair, told in vintage Lee style – with whoops, deep chords, and headlong improvisational arcs (1993) Ð definitely not Alligator Pie…
