I came to understand that my job description included an obligation to expose readers to wide varieties of poetry, to challenge their assumptions while expanding their taste.\" In selecting this year's edition of \u003cem\u003eBest Canadian Poetry\u003c\/em\u003e, Barton brings the same catholic spirit to his survey of Canadian poems published by magazines and journals in 2021. From new work by Canadian favourites to exciting new talents, this year's anthology offers fifty poems to challenge and enlarge your sense of the power and possibility of Canadian poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeaturing: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeslie Joy Ahenda - Billy-Ray Belcourt - Bertrand Bickersteth - Tawahum Bige - Stephanie Bolster - Susan Braley - Moni Brar - Jake Byrne - Helen Cho - Conyer Clayton - Lucas Crawford - Sophie Crocker - Michael Dunwoody - Evelyna Ekoko-Kay - Tyler Engström - Triny Finlay - Elee Kraljii Gardiner - Lise Gaston - Susan Gillis - Beth Goobie - Patrick Grace - Laurie D.
