$15.00 CAD

pp. 416, b/w illustrations, “Who is the mystery that is Gwendolyn MacEwen? Acclaimed biographer Rosemary Sullivan poignantly uncovers the life of a searingly gifted but wounded poet, novelist and mystic, a writer who, after a spellbinding reading to a packed house in one of Toronto’s largest halls, was proclaimed as “one of the last great bards.” Until now, Gwendolyn MacEwen has remained a little-understood figure in the annals of Canadian literature. Rosemary Sullivan paints a portrait that moves Gwendolyn MacEwen — both as a woman and as an artist — into her rightful place as one of our most significant cultural icons.”
