CanLit 210/211: 21st-Century Poetics
Did you know that April is National Poetry Month? Canadian Literature has been publishing Canadian poems in our journal throughout our history. You can read poems by browsing through back issues, and we have an archive of poems and interviews with poets on our CanLit Poets resource.
You’ll also find lots of poetry content on CanLit Guides, including our guide to Poetic Visuality and Experimentation.
Also make sure to browse through Reading and Writing Canada: A Classroom Guide to Nationalism
