Description:
Toronto: Macmillan of Canada, 1967 Book. Very Good. Soft cover. Revised Edition. Selected and arranged an with an introduction by F.R.Scott & A.J.M.Smith. Here's a bomb to blast complacency, a wind to scatter the cobwebs of old conformities; a whip for knaves-in-office and a purge for hypocrites.Here's medicine for the strong and poison for the dull. Here's a rope to hang the canting chauvinist and a sword to arm the man who loves his country. The Blasted Pine shows Canada in an unfamiliar light - the light of an energetic and sometimes savage self-criticism. The stately pine ...is here blasted and eaten away by the native fires of satire and invective. But though the light is unfamiliar it has burnt steadily since the mid-nineteenth century century. Almost as soon as Canadian poets appeared they were sounding a disrespectful note - a loud raspberry which echoes rudely down the corridors of history to our own day. This anthology reveals, as no other has done, how consistently and with…
