A Broken Alpine Path: Notes from a Woman Poet in New Brunswick by Jennifer Houle. Photograph: Lucy Maud Montgomery.


New Brunswick has a deep and varied literary history, an embarrassment of riches, truly, and its poetic history is particularly varied and compelling. Poets working in New Brunswick today are following in the footsteps of myriad prolific and culturally significant forerunners: Charles G.D. Roberts, Bliss Carman, Ralph Gustafson, Elizabeth Brewster, Alden Nowlan, John Thompson . . . the list goes on. Living poets of significance may even outnumber the dead: M. Travis Lane, Robert Gibbs, Ross Leckie, Triny Finlay, Kerry-Lee Powell and Danny Jacobs are only a handful of my personal favourites.
