George Bowering: Autobiology
Autobiology, like my daughter, was conceived in Montreal and brought to light in Vancouver. It was indeed a kind of turning point for me, and the model for some books to come, books that would derive from it and step into something else. The next book would have 48 sections too, and it would rub against Gertrude Stein, too, as it numbered the persons I got stuff from in my writing world.

George Bowering: Genève 1971
At that time the hardest working and most serious young poet in central Canada was thirty-year-old Margaret Atwood. She is now and was then, logical, analytical—sensible. In secret she wore bright red babydoll jammies, but in her books and in her public addresses, she was a scientist’s daughter who knew how to develop an argument or show you an example.
