What the Poets Are Doing

"'What the poets are doing : Canadian poets in conversation' is a collection of conversations between established and up-and-coming poets focusing on the role of poetry and poets in the twenty-first century. In 2002, Nightwood published 'Where the words come from : Canadian poets in conversation,' a successful first-of-its kind collection of interviews with literary luminaries like Margaret Atwood, Michael Ondaatje, Margaret Avison, Patrick Lane, Lorna Crozier and P.K. Page, conducted by emerging poets of the day. Sixteen years later, 'What the poets are doing' brings together two younger generations of poets to engage in discussions with their peers on modern-day poetics, politics and more. From the role of the writer in an age characterized by social and digital media to the Donald Trump presidency, #MeToo empowerment and scandal, the choices that make a poem 'sing,' and Indigenous Truth and Reconciliation, these conversations explore the world of Canadian poetry in the new millennium: what's changed, what's endured and what's next." --
