This is a collection of excellent history/travel essays about various Canadian places. It's more serious than How to Be a Canadian, by the same author, but just as good. And still funny! I gave this 5 stars on Amazon; I just don't know what to say about it really: either you like funny Canadians with a history jones or you don't, eh?

Body Music: Essays, by Dennis Lee
Dennis Lee is a beloved Canadian poet whose children's poems I devoured gleefully as a kid. I'm not the only one either; I have an entire CD some people back in PEI did, putting Lee poems to music. Anyway, he writes grown-up poetry too, and most of these essays are either poetics or literary criticism. A handful of the poetics essays are just superb -![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
corivax, this is the book I said I'd get round to sending you eventually, when we were talking about poetry months ago - and I have been savoring the collection a little bit at a time for the past half-year or so.
