CanLit Poets
Welcome to CanLit Poets!
CanLit Poets is a freely available, ongoing, online archive geared towards motivating the next generation of Canadian poets. The poems in this archive have all been published in the pages of Canadian Literature, and the response questions have been answered by the poet themselves.
We are working our way through our back issues with the goal to have a complete archive of the poetry published in Canadian Literature. If you are a poet who has not yet been contacted, please send us a note.
