    S idney J. Stephen ~ - - : ! • . ? " - • f ■ i - l '' ■ ■ - ADAM IN EXILE: A. M. KLEIN’S PORTRAIT OF THE POET AS LANDSCAPE Tom Marshall ends his introduction to A. M. Klein (Toronto: The Ryerson Press, 1970) by expressing the opinion that t Klein has bequeathed to his successors the task of creating their country. The emphasis on space and landscape in “Grain Elevator” and “Portrait of the Poet as Landscape” is echoed in the work of Margaret Atwood and Margaret Avison. Klein’s “nth Adam”, the unacknowledged legislator of a new Canada of the spirit, may be found in the poems of Gwendolyn MacEwen and joe Rosenblatt, and even in Cohen’s Beautiful Losers (p. 25). Marshall’s point is well taken, even if one does not completely agree with his closing remark that Klein is “the man who has come closer than any other Canadian Poet to greatness” (p 25). The phrase “nth Adam” is taken from “Portrait of the Poet as Landscape”, and this poem, coming as it does after nearly twenty years of writing and publishing poetry1 appears to present a view on what a poet’s role might be in the society in which he finds himself. For this reason alone, if for no other, the poem might be accorded a close reading, an exploration of the idea of the “poet-as-Adam” which seems to have been a personal reflection of the poet. •v Much of Klein’s work is soundly based in Jewish tradition, and his knowledge of (and esteem for) that tradition is always evident, though as M.

    Douglas Barbour Review Article Poetry Chronicle V: It's interesting how we've been told over and over again that somehow in the seventies all the promises of the sixties have been broken. We are asked to believe that the glories of art and religiosity and politics have all faded. Thus the marvelous sense of exploration and opening new doors in poetry must be a thing of the past and whatever is being written today, however well done, cannot possibly match the poetry of the sixties in terms of breaking new ground. But, surely, I reply, the new ground is always there to be broken and art comes from individual artists not decades? At any rate, the spiritual depression many peo­ ple seem to speak from in the seventies is not mine, and to my eye (even if most of the young writers lack the sense of language a whole generation in the sixties had) some extraordinarily exciting writing is taking place (admittedly, much of it from writers who began in the sixties-my point is that they have not died with the decade). Out of around forty books this time through, about five truly put me off, most are good, if not finally overwhelming, and a few are among the best books I've come across this decade. A search through previous 'chronicles' would reveal at least one, sometimes two or three, super books per year: that's a lot of really good poetry, no matter how you look at it. The world may indeed be falling apart but Canadian poetry is not.
