SUMMARY OF POETRY POSTS RELATED TO CANADA: In these 8 collections, we have accumulated more than 50 poems related to the Canadian experience, of average length 6+ lines each, along with plenty of explanatory notes and illustrative photos; mulling over this assemblage of 300 lines of verse might be a good way to fill a dull winter evening. Join the party!
