Title
P.K. Page and Surrealism
Abstract
The author contends that critics of P.K. Page make frequent but brief references to the surrealist effects of her early poetry, but there has been no sustained attention to Surrealism's connection to her early style, nor to her interest in eccentric psychology and its relation to creativity. The author explores Page's connection to the surrealist fashion in English letters of the 1930s, and situates the poet in her international context, and in a little-remarked surrealist continuity in Canada (and specifically Montreal)extending from A.J.M. Smith through Patrick Anderson and Irving Layton to Margaret Avison.
