In 1954, Fred Cogswell and a group of students and faculty
associated with The Fiddlehead magazine founded Fiddlehead Poetry
Books ?to give the public a chance to read the work of new Canadian
poets.? The first volume was Cogswell's own first collection, The
Stunted Strong, a sonnet sequence that sets vivid sketches of
country people confined by frustration, obsession, and small
victories against the illimitable dreams and thwarting limitations
of the human condition. This second edition of The Stunted Strong
is published to commemorate the life that Fred Cogswell so
generously devoted to poetry and its makers. Between 1958, when he
became the publisher of Fiddlehead Poetry Books, and 1981, when he
retired, he published more than three hundred collections. He
launched the careers of Frances Itani, Roo Borson, Joy Kogawa,
Marilyn Bowering, Don Gutteridge, and Alden Nowlan, and he
published early books by Al Purdy, Norman Levine, Dorothy Livesay,
and David Solway. In 1982, Peter Thomas became the new publisher,
and, deciding to publish prose as well as poetry, he changed the
imprint to Goose Lane Editions.
