Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"[Knister's] work is exemplified by simple straightforward stanzas about modern life and aims at the starkness of absolute truth. " --Anne Burke, editor, Prairie Journal "An example of the type of excellent literary history that Exile Editions has made a minor specialty of." --George Fetherling, Vancouver Sun "What I appreciate most about this collection is its handiness . . . . It's a great primer on Knister (and Canadian Modernism of the 1920s-1930s), produced with concision and with an eye to being readable and utilitarian." --Stephen Cain, author, American Standard/Canada Dry
