Title
A.M. Klein: The Story of the Poet
Abstract
One of Canada’s greatest poets, A.M. Klein (1909-1972) studied classics and political science at McGill University (1926-1930), and later law at the Université de Montréal. He practiced law until his retirement in 1956. As a student, he published poetry and prose in Canadian and American periodicals, and was later affiliated with the Preview group of Montreal poets. The author focuses on 'the story of the poet,' which Klein retells again and again at major turning points in his career. The author argues that the story reflects Klein's attempt to mediate between his dual traditional Jewish beliefs and modernist ambitions.
