Focusing on the importance of traditional and popular poetry for
the poets, the presenters, and the local audience, Greenhill
examines the activity of creating and using poetry in a community
context. She gives numerous examples of Ontario folk verse, among
them twenty-one poems about Canadian runner Terry Fox, whose battle
with cancer inspired many folk poets. True Poetry pioneers the
examination of folk poetry in Canada and adds to a limited body of
scholarship on the topic. It will be of interest to anyone
concerned with Canadian society, traditional folklore, and popular
culture.
