> For many, year-end means a moment of reflection, and the appearance of
> lists, lists and more lists. Ive received and picked up numerous poetry
> chapbooks, and thought it might be worth compiling a list of the Canadian
> titles that really stuck out, over the past calendar year.
>
> The only really frustrating thing about a list such as this is knowing how
> woefully incomplete it is, including all the chapbooks that, for whatever
> reason, I couldnt get my hands on. Consider this a mere fraction of
> Canadian poetry activity in the realm of small and micro publishing.
