In responses that are at once feisty and articulate, informed and informal, the poets respond to questions about the writing process, their attachment to place, and the nature and significance of poetry in the 21st century. The immediacy of the conversational format captures perfectly the urgency with which present-day Maritime poets are writing about their region. Posing essential questions about creativity, Meetings is a valuable primer on Maritime culture, as well as an essential exploration of issues surrounding the cultural unity in this country. In addition to the Governor General_s Award, Anne Compton has twice won the Atlantic Poetry Award, in 2003 for "Opening the Island," and in 2006 for "Processional," An accomplished critic, Anne Compton conducts this thoughtful inquiry with the intelligence and passion that informs her own poetry. Poets included in the book are: George Elliott Clarke |
