An edited collection of letters, this book documents the long correspondence between two well-known Canadian poets who were also personal friends. Both had long careers, and the letters from each to the other cover a forty-year period. The letters document the professional influence they had over each other's careers, the business of poetry in Canada between the 1940s and the 1980s, and the intellectual and emotional correspondence between the two men. The correspondence includes poems. As both were public figures, the letters also provide an unvarnished view of their opinions that may be absent from other works by and about them.
