DRAGLAND, STAN

Apocrypha. Further Journeys

Newest Pr, 2003. Paperback. Pp: 258. "Apocrypha, a shaped collection of writing by Stan Dragland produced over two decades, joins the NeWest Press Writer As Critic Series. A passionate meditation on the meeting of life and literature, and a text of rumination, invention, and rhapsody, "Apocrypha celebrates tradition while going its own way, crossing genres and at times stretching out the sentence. Throughout the book, Dragland explores literary criticism that is personal in response, connecting with a thread of life-writing falling on many subjects, including learning and teaching, reading and writing. Dragland looks at the texts of strangers and colleagues, including Michael Ondaatje, Roy Kiyooka, Robert Kroetsch, Fred Wah, Matt Cohen, Agnes Walsh and others, weaving together personal reminiscences with theoretical and critical looks at their work. "Apocrypha is also touched with the landscapes of Dragland's own life-from Alberta to Ontario to Newfoundland, and in his travels through India, Germany, and England. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Wilson MacDonald's Western Tour, 1923-24

Toronto: Coach House, 1975. Paper bound, edition not stated (assumed first), French flaps, illustrated, unpaginated. Ex-library copy with dust jacket chipped about one inch up from bottom of spine along with a few smaller nicks to top edge else a very good copy. 220 grams. In these days when cross-country poetry reading tours are commonplace it may come as a surprise to some that early 20th century Canadian poets like Bliss Carmen, Pauline Johnson, and Wilson MacDonald also toured the country. This book tells the story of Wilson MacDonald’s triumphant and terrible tour through the Canadian West in 1923-24. Stan Dragland has assembled MacDonald’s adventures into a dramatic and humourous sequence. He has drawn his material from the letters of MacDonald, from those of his harassed publisher Lorne Pierce who organized the tour, and includes the words of the friends and enemies MacDonald made along the way. The book is a vivid and authentic record of a unique literary personality in action.
