Arc 58 Summer 2007
Collection of Essays the First of its Kind to Acknowledge the Contribution of 13 Canadian Poets Never Recognized in their Lifetimes In their introduction to this landmark issue and unique project in Canadian letters, co-editors Anita Lahey and Matthew Holmes write, "All the poets you will read about in this issue of Arc are dead. With each, a potential legacy has also died, or is in full-blown demise. Though ordinary mortality is beyond our powers to correct, we take issue, as our theme 'Forgotten and Neglected' implies, with these secondary, literary deaths. We contend that each of the 13 poets whose work appears in these pages has received less credit than was his or her due for either literary accomplishments, the enrichment of Canadian poetic history, or both."
