The Montreal Poets

From the 1920s to the 1960s, Montreal dominated Canadian poetry through the accomplishments of such Anglophone poets as A.J.M. Smith, F.R. Scott, A.M. Klein, Louis Dudek, P.K. Page, Irving Layton and Leonard Cohen. They were all deeply bound to the city and, as the author notes, "we can see in their poetry a sense of place, of a real city that has an odd, ugly vitality of its own."
