Poetry by Patrick Warner, Queen Elizabeth II Library, has
been selected for inclusion in a new national anthology of poetry, The New
Canon: An Anthology of Canadian Poetry, published by Vehicule Press (December
2005). Concentrating on poets who have launched innovative attacks on traditional
verse modes, The New Canon offers readers a reliable, if often risk-taking,
guide to the last two decades of contemporary Canadian poetry. It is the first
book to survey the territory since Dennis Lee’s landmark The New Canadian
Poets was published in 1985.
