Margaret Atwood presents a selection of poetry by Canadian poet Gwendolyn MacEwen. She first published her poetry when she was 16, in the well-respected The Canadian Forum. At 18 she left high school, determined to make it as a writer; it was a year later, in a Toronto coffee shop that she met Atwood. To make such a move from home at that age was a brave step to take in the 1950s, but with her talent and originality, she was instantly accepted into the small Canadian writing community. Atwood divides her chosen poems into five sections, led by an introduction.
