| Title |
Montreal Poetry After Leonard Cohen
|
| Abstract |
A bitting examination of English Montreal's literary history and decline, from being the "aesthetic, energetic centre of Canadian literary activity in the 1940s, 1950s, and early 1960s," exemplied by the Montreal School of poets (which included Leonard Cohen among its members), to the "failed radical experiments and, for the most part, mediocre verse" of Anglophone poets of 1970s and 1980s. Since 1989, there is a general lack of interest in Montreal's English language literary scene, both in Francophone Quebec and the rest of Canada. The author observes: "Leaderless, and facing its new reality as a barely tolerated minority with no political power, English Montreal became a community haunted by its former significance."
