  • Four Poems by Malcolm Lowry
    383 FOUR POEMS BY MALCOLM LOWRY Quartermaster at the Wheel The Harkness light! Another hour spelled out, Struck by myself with unction but with doubt. A man is killed but does not hear the shot Which kills him; four bells kills me. Lucky to hear it jf I killed myself,- Whose age haunts calendars upon the screen; The heroine horn in nineteen eighteen, Who yesterday was born in nineteen eight. A pile of magazines assess dead love On shore, where one light burns no love will wait. -Past years are volcanoes beyond the wake, Tomorrow is the sea and then the sea, To both least faithless when we most forsake, The one unsealed, the other vomltless Of Jonah to his gourd or Nineveh .... It is a straw to tickle bloodshot eyes Of quartermasters soldered to darkness, The stiff wheel and the remembrance of the drowned, For sinking men to suck at or to claw, The thought that what we saw we often hear Too late or not at all, or cannot bear To know resounding eardrums register ... Our siren now! What ugliest ship has not Borne heart from heart with that deep plangency, Sadder than masthead's light, a soul In mourning whose voice is grief gone by. Roll on, you witless, dark brown ocean, roll, And light light years and grey ones let us live Within that gracious nexus of reprieve Between the fated sight and fatal sound - Now leave the world to Harkness and to me. 384 THE DALHOUSIE REVIEW [This Bitterest Coast] This is the end but since it is the end, You are happy at least in this one certainty, As you were in the eternity Of childhood's blue summer with seagull and yacht for friend, When God was good; love, true; sea, sea; land, land.

  • WEST of the GREAT DIVIDE a View of the Literature of British Columbia
    WEST OF THE GREAT DIVIDE A View of the Literature of British Columbia Allan Pritchard MASIASHION: S IN LITERARY CRITICISM change rapidly. The "sur- vival" thesis that has dominated the thematic criticism of Canadian literature in recent years may be about due to fall from favour. Yet it has proved highly stimulating, and its usefulness has still not been totally exhausted. Before it recedes from its present prominence at least one further value can be extracted from it, although of a paradoxical kind. It serves admirably as a means of defining the regional characteristics of the literature of British Columbia — if one merely reverses its central propositions. The survival thesis is now so familiar that little reminder is needed of its salient points. Like much of the best in our criticism, the view that conflict between man and nature is central in Canadian literature seems to have developed from some brief but perceptive remarks of Northrop Frye. It has been elaborated by many critics and given its fullest and most influential formulation by Margaret Atwood. According to Atwood, the essential literary symbol for Canada is survival in the face of hostile nature. In our literature, she suggests, man is seen predominantly as a victim and nature as a monster. The land is alien. Of the seasons only winter is real. The characteristic experience of the immigrant and settler is exile and defeat. Canadian books are populated by life-denying women and trapped, defeated characters. The central experience represented is death, and as a whole the literature is "undeniably sombre and negative."1 If one turns from these propositions about the nature of Canadian literature and looks at the work of such notable writers of British Columbia as Roderick Haig-Brown, Malcolm Lowry, Ethel Wilson, and Jack Hodgins, the sense of contrast is so strong as to suggest the scene in October Ferry to Gabriola where Lowry describes the journey of his central characters, the Llewelyns, westward from Ontario.

  • “On Being a Woman Writer”: Atwood's Canadian and Feminist Contexts
    “On Being a Woman Writer”: Atwood’s Canadian and Feminist Contexts Heidi Slettedahl Macpherson When you begin to write you’re in love with the language, the act of cre- ation, with yourself partly; but as you go on, the writing—if you follow it—will take you places you never intended to go and show you things you would never otherwise have seen. I began as a profoundly apolitical writer, but then I began to do what all novelists and some poets do: I began to describe the world around me. (Atwood, Second Words 15) Margaret Atwood began her writing career at a time when Canadian literature did not have a clearly established canon or identity. In fact, she has been credited with helping to “invent” Canadian literature as a critical concept, both because she herself is a proli¿c poet, novelist and short story writer, but also because she has published books of literary and cultural criticism throughout her long career. As she noted in the early 1970s, “Until recently, reading Canadian literature has been for me and for everyone else who did it a personal interest, since it was not taught, required or even mentioned (except with derision) in the public sphere” (Survival 13). That attitude has clearly changed, not only be- cause of Atwood’s own position as a very important cultural icon, but also because of the preeminence of contemporary Canadian writers on the world literary stage. Atwood’s contemporaries include Alice Mun- ro, Carol Shields, Margaret Laurence, and Marian Engel, among oth- ers; Joan Barfoot and Michael Ondaatje are only a few years younger than she is.

    Notes Bibliographical Errata Regarding the Cumulative List of Winners of the Governor General’s Literary Awards / Liste cumulative des lauréates et des lauréats des Prix littéraires du Gouverneur général, 2011 Andrew David Irvine* Several years ago a friend recommended I read E. Bennett Metcalfe’s 1985 biography of Roderick Haig-Brown, A Man of Some Importance. Chancellor of the University of Victoria from 1970 to 1973, Haig- Brown (1908-76) was an early British Columbia environmentalist, a sometime logger, trapper and fisherman, and a long-serving magistrate of the juvenile court of Campbell River. According to his biographer, he also received the first Governor General’s Medal for Juvenile Literature for his 1948 book, Saltwater Summer.1 Even so, Haig-Brown’s name and book appear nowhere on the official list of award-winners maintained by the Canada Council for the Arts: the Cumulative List of Winners of the Governor General’s Literary Awards / Liste cumulative des lauréates et des lauréats des Prix littéraires du Gouverneur général.2 Explaining the omission is not straightforward. The most plausible explanation is that Haig-Brown was likely the first (and to date the only) author to receive a Governor General’s Citation for his work,3 rather than the then-traditional medal. In the minds of some, it * Andrew Irvine holds the position of Professor of Philosophy at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. 1 E.

  • The Mainstream
    THE MAINSTREAM Ronald Sutherland A.LONG WITH A NUMBER of other activities in Canada, literary criticism has picked up a great deal of momentum in the last decade. Like the St. Lawrence River it has deepened and broadened as it moved along, and to a large extent it also has divided in two at the Island of Montreal. In view of the mighty St. Lawrence's present state of pollution, however, it would perhaps be injudicious to pursue the analogy. But it can be said with reasonable confidence that the steady increase in the volume of Canadian literary criticism is having and will continue to have a beneficial effect on creative writing in this country. I imagine that there is nothing more debilitating for a writer than to be ignored, to be working in a vacuum as it were. Frederick Philip Grove comes immediately to mind. Despite the recent increase in the volume of literary criticism, however, several major problems remain to be resolved. They are basic problems which glare like a hole in a girl's stocking or a pair of mismatched shoes, but they can also be covered up and ignored. They would seem to invite attention, and then again they do not. For they are often charged with emotional overtones. For instance, there is the question of who precisely is a Canadian author. Anthologies and literary histories, to say the least, have tended to be gloriously free of discrimina- tion, grabbing all that could possibly be grabbed. One wonders, indeed, how Jacques Maritain, Wyndham Lewis, Willa Cather and Ernest Hemingway, all of whom lived for a time in Canada, escaped the conscription, not to mention Alexis de Tocqueville, Charles Dickens and Henry David Thoreau.

  • A Thematic Study of Some British Columbia Novels GEORGE BOWERING
    Home Away : A Thematic Study of Some British Columbia Novels GEORGE BOWERING £ In Survival9 her popular 'thematic guide to Canadian literature" (1972 ), Margaret Atwood began with what she called a "sweeping gen­ eralization," that "every country or culture has a simple unifying and informing symbol at its core" and that it will be discoverable in that culture's literature. She suggested that for the U.S., or, as she called it, "America," the symbol is the Frontier, that for England it is the Island and that for Canada it is Survival. Leaving aside argument that these assignments might be acts of fiction themselves — that Survival, for in­ stance, seems as important to Australian literature as to Canadian — I would like to take up the amusement for a while and say something about my choice for the unifying and informing symbol for the culture (dare we say country?) of British Columbia. The symbol is Home, or, more specifically, the attempt to find or make a home. Home, of course, means family, means a place where people have interpersonal rather than societal rituals, means, literally and etymologi- cally, a place where one may lie down. The common way to symbolize it in art is to construct the picture of a house. The main livelihood of the province of British Columbia is the harvesting and processing of house­ building materials. But the houses that the families of the harvesters and processors live in most often seem temporary and unstable.
