Doug I think you would find that Canadian poetry circa 1917 was somewhat more astronomically removed from modernism than Britain, which, despite the War, was an avant-garde bolt-hole. Eliot and Pound were non-combatants, but there were plenty of British figures around, like Hulme and Flint and Wyndham Lewis and Aldington and Reade etc. I always like the fact that John Ashbery cites the neglected English poet Nicholas Moore as one of his prima-tive influences.
