Shop Talk: an anthology of poetry by The Vancouver Industrial Writers’ Union

edited by Zoë Landale

The poets in the Vancouver Industrial Writers’ Union cross the border easily between their working and their writing lives. They are not interested in the (arbitrary) distinction between action and language, thought and work.

SHOP TALK is unique in the sense that it is more than an anthology; it is a coherent and well-wrought statement by a group of men and women who recognize a solidarity with a language and subject matter beyond traditional “literary” boundaries.
