Description
Poet Phyllis Webb initiated new ways of seeing into the cultural “dark” of Western thought. By blurring the axis between “light” and “dark”, she redefined in positive terms women's subjectivity and sexuality, which are traditionally assigned “dark” negative values.
``[This] ... is one of the most important studies of contemporary Canadian poetry to appear in recent years. Phyllis Webb has long deserved such a careful, innovative, and challenging critique.... This is a necessary book.'' -- Douglas Barbour
``Butling's careful readings of Webb's poems are nuanced and perceptive, and her argument that Webb's poetics enact a feminist politics of social change is persuasive. Her study represents a substantial contribution to the critical literature on the work of this fascinating and often quite difficult poet.'' -- Linda Lamont-Stewart, University of Toronto Quarterly
Pauline Butling teaches Canadian literature and cultural studies in the Humanities Department at the Alberta College of Art and Design.
