Writer In ResidenceMarch 1st to March 31stPaul Vermeersch » Paul Vermeersch is the author of The Reinvention of the Human Hand (McClelland & Stewart, 2010) and three other collections of poetry. He is also the editor of The I.V. Lounge Reader and The Al Purdy A-frame Anthology. LATEST SUBMISSION »NEW ANTHOLOGIES BRING THE HISTORY OF CANADIAN POETRY INTO FOCUS (PART ONE)We are frequently accused of being a throw-away society, and not without reason. We often praise the new simply for being new, and in the same breath we deride the breakthroughs of the past for being quaint, rustic, or obsolete. Such are the capricious judgments of fashion.
