From a Speaking Place brings together 63 essays, notes, and interviews from 50 years of contributions to Canadian Literature, Canada’s foremost journal on the country’s writers and writing. You’ll find here such stylish writers as Margaret Atwood, G©rard Bessette, George Bowering, George Elliott Clarke, Wayde Compton, Basil Johnston, Janice Kulyk Keefer, Thomas King, Margaret Laurence, George Ryga, Andreas Schroeder, Audrey Thomas, Tom Wayman, Rudy Wiebe, and George Woodcock. From a Speaking Place invites you into a conversation about what it means to be a reader and a writer in Canada. This Canada speaks: of Inuit voices and Al Purdy’s “rock gothic,” of Bombay and Trinidad, of “great traditions,” urban findings, laughter, Acadia, nation, translation, theatre, exploration, life stories and more, from official languages and le monologue qu©b©cois to Marshall McLuhan and “Hollywood Not.” Illustrated by George Kuthan’s woodcuts, the book celebrates Canadian Literature’s 50th anniversary in 2009.
