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 *

Twenty-five years ago and counting, Louisa, my true, essential,
always-there-for-everything friend, died. We were 22. When Anita
Lahey opens her binder in grade nine French and gasps over an
unsigned form, the girl with the burst of red hair in front of her
whispers, Forge it! Thus begins an intense, joyful friendship, one
of those powerful bonds forged in youth that shapes a person's
identity and changes the course of a life. Anita and Louisa
navigate the wilds of 1980s suburban adolescence against the
backdrop of dramatic world events such as the fall of the Berlin
Wall. They make carpe diem their manifesto and hatch ambitious
plans. But when Louisa's life takes a shocking turn, into hospital
wards, medical tests, and treatments, a new possibility confronts
them, one that alters, with devastating finality, the prospect of
the future for them both. Equal parts humorous and heartbreaking,
The Last Goldfish is a poignant memoir of youth, friendship, and
the impermanence of life.
Guest editor Rob Taylor, author of the widely acclaimed collection
The News, brings a passionate ear for rhythm, an eye for narrative
compression, an appetite for vital subject matter, and an affinity
for warmth and wit to his selections for Best Canadian Poetry 2019.
The fifty ruggedly independent poems gathered here tackle themes of
emergence, defiance, ferocious anger, gratitude, and survival. They
are alive with acoustic energy, precise in their language, and
moving in their use of the personal to explore fraught political
realities. They emit a cloud of invisible energy, a charge.

In his latest collection, Shane Neilson surveys his homeland,
mapping the many contours of history-political, social, personal,
and spiritual-and considering the ways we shape and are shaped by
the land. Formally inventive and linguistically rich, New Brunswick
grapples with the weight of legacies both political and familial,
charting both the province and the heart.

A hard-knuckled look at the other half, this collection of lively
poems mix a girl-about-town cockiness with an all-too-rare
emotional honesty about men, love, and relationships. Whether the
subject is a one-man chimney demolition, the lifelong fidelity of
seahorses, a lover at war in Afghanistan, or a kickboxing match,
Lahey confronts the enduring disconnect between the sexes in a
language that is slangy and quick, punctuated with jabs. She eyes
those moments— in a day, in a life— when the normal clues we
rely on disappear, shifting the line between domesticity and
danger.
