Intertidal: The Collected Earlier Poems, 1968-2008

The first volume of the definitive oeuvre of Daphne Marlatt’s poetry exploring the city, feminism, and collaboration. An early member of the avant-garde TISH group, which turned Canadian poetry for the first time to a focus on language, Marlatt’s career has spanned five decades and a range of formal styles and concerns. The Collected Earlier Poems offers Marlatt’s perceptual and Vancouver-centric work of the 1970s, her feminist writing of the 1980s, and her later collaborative work.

Daphne Marlatt is a West Coast, deconstructionist, lesbian, and feminist writer.

Susan Holbrook is a researcher, writer, and poet.
