 | The Tightrope Walker: Autobiographical Writings of Anne Wilkinson Together with Coldwell's introduction, these writings present a unique and moving self-portrait of a poet who died too young, at the peak of her career. This volume celebrates Wilkinson's life and work, and the spirit that informed them. Wilkinson Anne : Anne Wilkinson (1910-1961) was a Canadian poet who was part of the modernist movement in Canadian poetry in the 1940s and 1950s, one of only a few prominent women poets of the time, along with Dorothy Livesay and P.K. Page. Wilkinson published two books of poetry, Counterpoint to Sleep (1951) and The Hangman Ties the Holly (1955). A former professor of English and Women's Studies, Joan Coldwell is the founder and publisher of Hedgerow Press. |
