New and Selected Poems by Michael Harris
A substantial collection of poems by Michael Harris. His work has appeared in The Atlantic Monthly, The Canadian Forum, Poetry Canada Review, Matrix, New England Review/Breadloaf Quarterly, Vanderbilt Poetry Review, The Antigonish Review and many other journals here and abroad. His book credits include Sparks [1976]; Grace [1977]; and In Transit [1985], all of which have poems included in this volume. Twice, Michael Harris has been a prize-winner in the CBC Literary Competitions for “Turning Out the Light” in 1985 and “Spring Descending” in 1989, both of which are included in this edition. Veiled Countries/Lives [1984], his translation of the complete poetic works of Marie-Claire Blais, was a finalist for the John Glasco Translation Prize. The publication by VLB Editeur of a bilingual edition of Miss Emily et la Mort [1984] by Michael Harris was a Canadian breakthrough. For the very first time, a francophone publisher presented a book by an English Quebec poet.
