'Although he was not one of the most prolific writers of his time, A.M. Klein has acquired through the excellence of his five books one of the highest literary reputation in North America. His influence on and encouragement of the younger Jewish writers of the United States and Canada is undeniable when we consider the works of such artists as Leonard Cohen, Irving Layton, Morecai Richler and numerous others. A.M. Klein's poetry draws heavily on the Jewish-North America experience. He knows the past and his traditions and expresses them with magnificence and density. His awareness of the urban-ethnic predicament and the incredible demands imposed by social difference and personal aspirations expresses itself in literary brilliance. His imagery is uniquely mythopoeic, his structures are truly elaborate ; his knowledge and understanding of the historical and the individual have remark scope and focus. The Collected poems of A.M. Klein is not only composite available collection of the poet's work, it is a testament to Klein's creative genius. He was a scholar, a politician, a social reformer, an artist, a craftsman, a dreamer....There have been very few writers like A.M. Klein.'- Publisher

From An Explanation of America : LAIR Robert Pinsky ? Inexhaustible, delicate, as if Without source or medium, daylight Undoes the mind; the infinite, Empty actual is too bright, Scattering to where the road Whispers, through a mile of woods ... Later, how quiet the house is: Dusk-like and refined, The sweet Phoebe-note Piercing from the trees; The calm globe of the morning, Things to read or to write Ranged on a table; the brain A dark, stubborn current that breathes Blood, a deaf wadding, The hands feeding it paper And sensations of wood or metal On its own terms. Trying to read I persist a while, finish the recognition By my breath of a dead giant's breath-- Stayed by the space of a rhythm, Witnessing the blue gulf of the air.

From A Woman Under the Surface : MOON AND EARTH Alicia Ostriker Of one substance, of one Matter, they have cruelly Broken apart. They never will touch Each other again. The shining Lovelier and younger Turns away, a pitiful girl. She is completely naked And it hurts. The larger Motherly one, breathlessly luminous Emerald, and blue, and white Traveling mists, suffers Birth and death, birth and death, and the shock Of internal heat killed by external cold. They are dancing through that blackness. They press as if To come closer.

Miriam Waddington's career as a writer began in the 1940s. In the years since, she has produced a body of work that has made her one of the most widely read poets in Canada. Her ninth collection-the first since Driving Home in 1972-is about light and silence, about places, and, most importantly, about solitude without loneliness, space without emptiness, death without fear. Her verbal discipline, imagery, warmth, toughness, and humour; her multicultural sympathies; her optimism and honesty-all are qualities that make her poetry fresh and intimate.
