<DIV><BR>The appearance of Margaret Atwood's first major collection of poetry marked the beginning of a truly outstanding career in Canadian and international letters. The voice in these poems is as witty, vulnerable, direct, and incisive as we've come to know in later works, such as <I>Power Politics</I>, <I>Bodily Harm</I>, and <I>Alias Grace</I>. Atwood writes compassionately about the risks of love in a technological age, and the quest for identity in a universe that cannot quite be trusted.<BR><BR>Containing many of Atwood's best and most famous poems, <I>The Circle Game</I> won the 1966 Governor General's Award for Poetry and rapidly attained an international reputation as a classic of modern poetry.<BR></DIV>
