From one of Canada's most influential poets, poems written in response to the discovery of letters by her father. These poems explore a sense of place and home on Canada's West Coast now on the brink of global climate change. "There Then" permeates any "Here Now" of immigrant consciousness and highlights the impermanent quality of "home."

Autorenporträt
Daphne Marlatt was at the centre of the West Coast poetry movement of the 1960s, studying at the University of British Columbia and with many of Donald Allen's New American Poets, most notably Robert Creeley and Robert Duncan. Her early literary associations with the loosely affiliated TISH group encouraged her nonconformist approach to language and form. Her unique disposition toward language shapes and is shaped by her commitment to exploring and honouring silenced histories and experiences. For her, writing has been a lifelong ethical project, deeply engaged with feminism, immigrant experiences, and ecological issues. Her innovations in the prose poem form have influenced an entire generation (and beyond) of Canadian poets.
