This
edition could not have been undertaken or brought
to completion without the support and assistance
of the University of Western Ontario, the Social
Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada,
and several collegues and students. I owe special
thanks to R.J. Shroyer and Gerard Stafleu for
their continual help with the computing aspects
of the Canadian Poetry Project and to Tanja Bondar,
Mireille Morley, and, especially, Jessica Coffey
and Steven Artelle for their work in entering,
formatting, and proofreading the various parts
of this edition. Thanks are also due to L.R. Early
and Susan Bentley for providing me with valuable
information and suggestions, and to the staff
of Western’s Graphic Services and Social Science
Copy Centre who were, as always, extremely helpful;
indeed, I would like to take the opportunity to
thank Donn Ekdahl, Patty Killough, Louise Gadbois,
and John Schroeder of Graphic Services for their
artistic and technical contributions to the work
of the Canadian Poetry Press. Finally, and as
always, my heartfelt thanks go to my family, Susan,
Michael, Simon, and Diana, for their continuous
support and encouragement. |
