The prairie long poem has, for many decades, survived at the nexus of poetic tradition of the Canadian prairies. Including works from some of the region’s finest long poets, such as Jon Whyte, Aritha van Herk, and David Arnason, these epic poems take readers on an historic tour of the prairies, through drought and the Depression, from doorsteps to deathbeds.
