For National Poetry month we wanted to highlight this new acquisition to our rare books collection, The Lines of the Poet. This limited edition work (100 were published in 1981) consists of a series of handprinted broadsides contained in a large folding case. Lines of the Poet showcases thirteen poems by: Margaret Atwood, Earle Birney, Leonard Cohen, Ralph Gustafson, Irving Layton, John Newlove, Alden Nowlan, Michael Ondaatje, P.K. Page, Al Purdy, F.R. Scott, A.J. M. Smith, and Phyllis Webb. Each poem is accompanied by lithographic portraits of the authors by Morten Rosengarten and are signed by the artist and the poet.
