Seven poets linked by experiment and opposition. Erin Mouré encourages "excessiveness" while Daphne Marlatt speaks of "salvaging". On writing, poetics, and culture, Marie Annharte Baker and Jeff Derksen share their personal perspectives and experiences. Robert Kroetsch discusses postmodernism's history, Fred Wah talks about ethnic hybridity, and Dionne Brand muses on postcolonial struggle and community. Seven poets of diverse region, gender, sexual orientation, race, and generation. Poets Talk brings new insights to the value of inspiration, imagination, and poetic re-invention.

It's also easy to read, if you read Spanish. If there are examples, they tend to be collected at the back in an appendix where they are much less useful than they would be directly with the idea that needs an example.I feel that the author settled for a less than his best in this book, and frequently stops partway along a direction that would have been much better if it were carried through more fully.There is a little bit of covereage of Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERD), but he gives only a handful of examples and then immediately give a diagram in a section with symbols that aren't covered in any of the previous examples.I was really looking forward to the function point covereage, but function points are covered only marginally well in the book, something that the author pretty much says himself in the first few paragraphs of the chapter on function points.The real strength of the book is in the ideas, which I found very useful. I found myself rereading pages to fully understand a plot I knew by heart, and there are several points where the text just doesn't make sense at all (the scene on the train, the meeting between Togawa and his boss, etc). Within the first few pages, students play folk tunes with interesting hooks. It is an outstanding book that deserves to be read and re-read.. It's obvious the author thinks nothing is wrong with it. Anyone interested in how mankind's religions started and why

. Published as a companion to their anthology Writing in Our Time: Canada’s Radical Poetries in English (1957-2003), forthcoming in March 2005 from Wilfrid Laurier University Press, the interviews are built over long processes of what makes their work work….More and more lately, the gap has been widening in Canadian poetry between those working the innovative poetic and those in the fixed idea, so a collection of interviews with seven poets with very little overlap, yet all working opposition and the innovative poetic, makes for an interesting read. Each interview begins with a short critical introduction of each of the poets; I think everyone should own this book.” rob mclennan, blog, robmclennanspot, March 11, 2005"Reading interviews, I often skip the questions and skim for juicy bits in the answers. For Butling and Rudy are active participants, confronting these writers with their blind spots, or prodding and cajoling them into risky and marvelous territory." Meredith Quartermain, T
