Review Quotes
Praise for Best Canadian Poetry
"The wide range of writers, forms and themes represented here make it a great jumping-off point for readers who might be interested in Canadian poetry but are unsure about where to start."
-Globe and Mail
"One of the best things about the end of the year is having a chance to look back. The three Best Canadian volumes--Stories, edited by Lisa Moore; Essays, edited by Marcello Di Cintio; and Poetry, edited by Bardia Sinaee--are a snapshot of some of the finest in Canadian writing this year."
--Robert J. Wiersema, Toronto Star
"A testament to the importance of literature in Canada ... it is a powerful body that celebrates the creative and literary spirit of Canadians from coast to coast to coast."
--Christina Barber, Miramichi Reader
"[These] books are must-haves for libraries, schools, and intellectually well-intentioned bedside nightstands across the country."
--Quill & Quire
"Buy it, or borrow it, but do read it."
--Arc Poetry Magazine
"A magnet, I think, for the many people who would like to know contemporary poetry."
--A.F. Moritz, Griffin Poetry Prize winner
"An eclectic and diverse collection of Canadian poetry ... a wonderful addition to anyone's bookshelf."
