Description
For almost 40 years, Gary Geddes, Canada's foremost political poet, has written with power and insight about myriad political issues, from the Paul Chartier Affair and FLQ terrorism in War and Other Measures to the infamous Somalia Affair in Airborne Particles, and this collection of six newly commissioned articles explores a number of unique and important perspectives on his extensive writing career. The writings elucidate how Geddes is not simply an ideologue in poet's clothing: the disturbing intimacy and specificity of his poems transcend the merely political, with sensitivity and compassion towards the individual human lives that are ineluctably bound up in political events. Essays by Robert G. May, Shirley McDonald, W. H. New, Bruno Sibona, Lake Sagaris, and M. Wynn Thomas are accompanied by an excerpt from Winnifred Bogaards's extensive 1997 study of Geddes's work, a far-ranging interview with the poet conducted by Robert G. May, as well as a detailed compilation of biographical and bibliographical materials.
