If one poet can be said to be the Canadian poet, that poet is Al
Purdy (1918-2000). Numerous eminent scholars and writers have
attested to this pre-eminent status. George Bowering described him
as 'the world's most Canadian poet' (1970), while Sam Solecki
titled his book-length study of Purdy, "The Last Canadian Poet
(1999)". In "The Ivory Thought: Essays on Al Purdy", a group of
seventeen scholars, critics, writers, and educators appraise and
reappraise Purdy's contribution to English literature. They
explore: Purdy's continuing significance to contemporary writers;
the life he dedicated to literature and the persona he crafted; the
influences acting on his development as a poet; the ongoing
scholarly projects of editing and publishing his writing;
particular poems and individual books of poetry, fiction, and
non-fiction; and, the larger themes in his work, such as "The
Canadian North" and the predominant importance of place. In
addition, two contemporary poets pay tribute with original poems.
