Poetry on Bay Street « Dani Couture

Where the Wild Things Are

"Canadian poetry has a long tradition of exploring and surviving the wilderness. Pratt, Service, Lee, Atwood – all have been interested, obsessed even, with a landscape both beautiful and terrifying. In fact, it's become cliché that our national poetry is infatuated with the wild and man's place in it. For this reason, Toronto-born Dani Couture is the much-needed urban update of our national literary obsession with a natural world."

I’ll be reading at Ben McNally Books on December 18th at 6:00 pm as part of a holiday event to celebrate The Best Canadian Poetry in English 2008 Anthology, edited by Molly Peacock and Stephanie Bolster.

And while we’re on the subject, here is a review of the book by Rob McLennan.
