Originally published by Contact Press in 1962, then later by House of Anansi in 1967, and again in a revised, expanded edition in 1972, Poems for All the Annettes stands as one of the essential documents of the great Al Purdy’s career. So many beloved poems are here"At Roblin Lake," "At the Quinte Hotel"but also so many undiscovered gems and treasures. It is at once the perfect introduction to this remarkable poet’s work and a collection rich and deep enough to satisfy even the experienced Purdy fan. This edition reproduces the final, expanded text of the 1972 edition, and features a brilliant new introduction by poet and novelist Steven Heighton, who knew Purdy well.
The autobiography of one of Canada's best loved poets "bristles with splenetic vitality" -Stephen Smith, "Quill & Quire"
Much-loved, cantankerous, and brilliant, Al Purdy galloped across the Canadian literary landscape for decades, grandly embodying the self-taught and hard-living image of the 1960s and '70s poet. This is a selection of thirty-five poems that includes some of his best-loved treasures. It also re-interprets the thematic development of his writing.
The definitive Al Purdy selected.Finalist for CBC Radio's Canada Reads 2006!
