Bill bissett and Milton Acorn are two of Canada's most significant,
and most controversial, literary figures. In the 1960s, bissett's
renown as an experimental poet was growing as his social and
political concerns were stirred by the voice of the counterculture.
Acorn, inspired by socialist theory and imagism, was building his
reputation as a poet on the margin who ran against the grain of the
literary establishment. Both were rising towards cultural
prominence-one, a true beatnik and the other, a certifiably rugged
lyric poet. In 1965 they came together in a remarkable
collaboration, a challenge to the established literary tradition
and a call for a better world.Published for the very first time, I
Want to Tell You Love is the combination of bissett and Acorn's
seemingly incongruous poetics to confront the turbulent and swiftly
changing world of the 1960s. A collection of poems and
illustrations, it is a window into the lives and motivations of two
soon-to-be-canonized cultural figures. I Want to Tell You Love is a
work of friendship, a shared vision of resistance, and a mutual
longing for a better world. This critical edition offers the
manuscript in its intended form alongside contextualizing
scholarship in a significant contribution to literary history. I
Want to Tell You Love offers an opportunity to reevaluate the
nature and scope of Canadian poetry during a critical time of
national cultural awakening.
