Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Later Poems How many Canadians - how many even among the few who seek to keep themselves informed of the best in contemporary literature, who are ever on the alert for the new voices - realise, or even suspect, that this Northern land of theirs has produced a poet of whom it may be affirmed with confidence and assurance that he is of the great succession of English poets? Yet such-strange and incomprehensible though it may seem - is in very truth the case, that poet being (to give him his full name) William Bliss Carman. Canada has full right to be proud of her poets, a small body though they are, but not only does Mr. Carman stand high and clear above them all - his place and time cannot but justify and confirm the assertion, is among those men whose poetry is the shining glory of that great English literature which is our common heritage. If any should ask why, if what has been just said is so, there has been - as must be admitted - no general recognition of the fact in the poet´s home land, I would answer that there are various and plausible, if not good, reasons for it. First of all, the poet, as thousands more of our young men of ambition and confidence have done, went early to the United States, and until recently, except for rare and brief visits to his old home down by the sea, has never returned to Canada - though for all that, I am able to state, on his own authority, he is still a Canadian citizen. Then all his books have had their original publication in the United States, and while a few of them have subsequently carried the imprints of Canadian publishers, none of these can be said ever to have made any special effort to push their sale.
