Simon Fraser University Library Burnaby, BC, Canada Revised: Fall2007 ABSTRACT This research examines poetry reviewing in Canada since 1961 when, arguably, the cultural shift into postmodernity begins to affect poetry production in Canada. Based on the primary observation that the textual forms produced under the sign of poetry have pluralised exponentially since 1961 while the concepts, tropes, metaphors of poetry reviewing have remained very stable, this thesis treats the language of poetry reviews as a relatively constant ideolect, and sets out to map and interpret some of its most structurally crucial constitutive threads. Its theoretical points of departure include Louis Althusser, Judith Butler and Slavoj Žižek's treatment of language and ideology, Frederic Jameson's reading of postmodernity, and contemporary North American poetics. Subject Terms: poetry; criticism; reviews; Canada; postmodernism; ideology call number: BH 39 S4794 iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am grateful to many for providing the personal and material support necessary to see this process through, not least of all to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and the Simon Fraser University Department of English for their generous financial support. Personal thanks goes primarily to Dr. Jeff Derksen, friend and mentor, who worked closely with me on this project for over a year. Without his constant supportive critiques, unflagging attention, and sustained interest I'm not entirely sure I would have been capable of finishing a thesis on such a difficult topic. Thanks also to the members of my examining committee, Dr. Andrew Klobucar, and Dr. Clint Burnham whose engaged, conditional enthusiasm made the defence process as challenging as it had to be, but much more of a pleasure than I had a right to expect. I also thank Dr. Tom Grieve. His survey course in literary theory, which I took during my qualifying undergraduate term, provided the stimulus and context for this project in its genesis. Warmest thanks are extended also to Dr. Steve Collis, again for friendship and mentorship. His Poetics of Response course in particular provided me with the best opportunity I have had to work out the terms of my own poetics. It was both a necessary foundational step in a project as large in scope as my thesis, and something that will continue to shape my writing and thinking for years in the future. Thanks no less to all of the other teachers I worked with directly during my time at Simon Fraser: Dr. Susan Brook, Dr. Julie Crawford, Dr. Torsten Kehler, Dr. Michelle Levy, Dr. Sophie McCall, and Dr. John Whatley. All of them contributed directly to my development and therefore directly to this thesis. And thanks to the graduate Chairs during my studies: Dr. Margaret Linley and Dr. Colette Colligan, and to Christa Gruninger and the rest of the English Department support staff. Thanks finally, as always, to Guinevere Pencarrick for her patience through a (long) time of excessive busyness. Thanks to her for loving me, for being so loveable. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Approval ................................................................................................................ ii Abstract ................................................................................................................. iii Acknowledgements ............................................................................................... iv Table of Contents ................................................................................................... v 1.

The investigation charts and analyzes the demographics of 64 poets who were published in 1967, and 75 poets who were published in four small press literary magazines in 2010. The 2010 magazines were purposely sampled as representatives of specific geographical areas in Canada (i.e., the West Coast, the Prairies, Central Canada, and the East Coast). The results indicate that in 1967 female poets were less likely to be published; however, 43 years later, this bias has been rectified.
