For many years The Muses’ Company had been the poetic voice of English-language poets in Quebec. No Canadian poetry bookshelf will be complete without this anthology featuring poems by Endre Farkas, Artie Gold, Ken Norris, Elias Letelier-Ruz, Tom Konyves, and more. This collection showcases The Muses’ Company poets at their best, with works that range from the lyric and mythic to the political, comic, and surreal. For the first time, Muse On! brings together these poets and their work in a celebration of their diversity, craft, and artistic accomplishment.
