Selected by editor John Barton, the 2023 edition of Best Canadian
Poetry showcases the best Canadian poetry writing published in
2021. "My goal," writes guest editor John Barton of his long career
as a literary magazine editor, "was always to be jostled awake, and
I soon realized that I was being jostled awake for two-myself and
the reader ... I came to understand that my job description
included an obligation to expose readers to wide varieties of
poetry, to challenge their assumptions while expanding their
taste." In selecting this year's edition of Best Canadian Poetry,
Barton brings the same catholic spirit to his survey of Canadian
poems published by magazines and journals in 2021. From new work by
Canadian favourites to exciting new talents, this year's anthology
offers fifty poems to challenge and enlarge your sense of the power
and possibility of Canadian poetry. Featuring: Leslie Joy Ahenda *
