Dream Elevators

edited by Beverley Daurio

Price: $19.95

In these remarkable conversations with poets from across Canada, readers will rediscover the wonder that drives the imagination. Angels, cyberspace, and prayer; the sex lives of vegatables, and medieval monks who lived in caves; travels across land and through ideas; all these and more are touched on in this collection. Canada’s most fascinating poets speak about their practice, their writing, and about their lives.

Poets Interviewed in Dream Elevators: Margaret Atwood, Leonard Cohen, Lorna Crozier, Claire Harris, Michael Harris, Roy Kiyooka, Gwendolyn MacEwen, Daphne Marlatt, Erin Moure, P.K. Page, Libby Scheier, Anne Szumigalski, Fred Wah, and Phyllis Webb.
