Celebrated as a novelist and made famous by her novel Anne of Green
Gables and its sequels, L.M. Montgomery (1874-1942) is far less
known for also writing and publishing hundreds of poems over a
period of half a century.Although this output included a chapbook
and a full-length collection in which she presented herself
primarily as a nature poet, most of her poems appeared in
periodicals, including women's magazines, farm papers, faith-based
periodicals, daily and weekly newspapers, and magazines for
children. As a shrewd businesswoman, she learned to find the
balance between literary quality and commercial saleability and
continued to publish poetry even though it paid less than short
fiction. A World of Songs: Selected Poems, 1894-1921, the second
volume in The L.M. Montgomery Library, gathers a selection of fifty
poems originally published across a twenty-five-year period.
Benjamin Lefebvre organizes this work within the context of
Montgomery's life and career, claiming her not only as a nature
poet but also as the author of a wider range of "songs": of place,
of memory, of lamentation, of war, of land and sea, of death, and
of love. Many of these poems echo motifs that readers of
Montgomery's novels will recognize, and many more explore
surprising perspectives through the use of male speakers. These
poems offer today's readers a new facet of the career of Canada's
most enduringly popular author.
