Atlantic Canada's International Literary Journal

Michael Dixon

Kowalski's Last Chance, Leo Simpson. Clarke, Irwin, 1980.

Simpson glories in "last chances": his comic demon feeds the apocalypse.

High Water Chants, Trevor Ferguson. Mcmillan, 1977.

True to its title, Ferguson's novel adheres faithfully to the mode of "chant."

76: New Canadian Stories, eds. Joan Harcourt and John Metcalf

"An homage to the craft" might well serve as subtitle to this anthology of recent short fiction by Clark Blaise, Donald Cameron, George Elliott, Hugh Hood, Norman Levine, H. R. Percy, Leon Rooke, Andreas Schroeder, Elizabeth Spencer, and Audrey Thomas.

Song of the Foundlings

Beyond the world,

Song of the Forsaken

Dare I ask why comes the silence?

Song of the Faithful

I wish there were no holidays or feats or festivals.
