Title
‘Nothing the way you thought it was’: A Paradoxical Modernist Aesthetic in Canadian Poetry
Abstract
Experiments by the McGill poets and their contemporaries in the 1920s demonstrate developments in modernist poetry in English Canada. The author discusses the influence of the Montreal-based The Canadian Mercury (1928-1929), the vehicle through which Modernism is said to have entered Canadian poetry.
