Avant Canada presents a rich collection of original essays and
creative works on a representative array of avant-garde literary
movements in Canada from the past fifty years. From the work of
Leonard Cohen and bpNichol to that of Jordan Abel and Liz Howard,
Avant Canada features twenty-eight of the best writers and critics
in the field.The book proposes four dominant modes of avant-garde
production: ""Concrete Poetics,"" which accentuates the visual and
material aspects of language; ""Language Writing,"" which
challenges the interconnection between words and things; ""Identity
Writing,"" which interrogates the self and its sociopolitical
position; and ""Copyleft Poetics,"" which undermines our habitual
assumptions about the ownership of expression. A fifth section
commemorates the importance of the Centennial in the 1960s at a
time when avant-garde cultures in Canada began to emerge. Readers
of this book will become familiar with some of the most challenging
works of literature - and their creators - that this country has
ever produced. From Concrete Poetry in the 1960s through to
Indigenous Literature in the 2010s, Avant Canada offers the most
sweeping study of the literary avant-garde in Canada to date.
