A Canadian's Poems

the long version

One might expect that a book of poetry titled ***A Canadian's Poems*** would comprise only poems about Canada. This is not the case here. In our new global theater of "www." national identities and cultures no longer define our artistic materials. The objects of art are now global in scope, not local. For the web has made it possible for poets from all countries to come together and share their cultures and their insights with each other. The web has also generated a new appreciation of English poetry and of the English tongues worldwide. The poems here are a selection of ones which reflect the global influence of "www." and its non-localizing action on the content of artistic materials. ***A Canadian's Poems***, truly one of the best kept secrets in Canadian English Poetry today, has gone global, and you are about to discover what all the buzz is about.
