Title
A Tall Man Executes a Jig by Irving Layton
Abstract
Described as: "A fascinating 'conversation' with Canadian poet Irving Layton, who shares how the poem by which he would like to be remembered, A Tall Man Executes a Jig, was inspired. He also offers a thorough explication of the poem. In so doing, he discusses the major themes that have preoccupied him during a lifetime of writing ; themes that are articulated in the metaphysical sonnet-sequence of this poem."
