Bronwen Wallace was recognized in the last decade of her short life
as a major Canadian poet and a significant figure in the growth of
the feminist movement. The author of five collections of poetry and
a book of short fiction, most of which have been out of print for
decades, Wallace worked in a range of poetic styles in a voice as
intimate as a conversation between friends. Offering the full
breadth of this celebrated poet's output in a single, long-awaited
volume, Collected Poems of Bronwen Wallace brings the text of all
five published collections back into print alongside unpublished
poems from earlier in her career, allowing readers to see the
stylistic evolution of her poetry from its first incarnation to her
last written work. In an engaging and often moving tone, the poems
draw the reader in even as they document the poet honing her craft
during the turbulent 1970s and reveal her fascination with the
politics of the personal, the everyday concerns of ordinary people,
and inequality and violence. Carolyn Smart's introduction and notes
supplement the collection, along with a bibliography that
catalogues the scholarly and literary responses to Wallace's work
for the first time. An exhilarating reading experience, Collected
Poems of Bronwen Wallace celebrates the clarity, humour, righteous
anger, and inclusivity of Wallace's poetry, which remains timely
and original thirty years after her death.
