irying Layton writes on Conadidn poetry
Toronto — Canadians are miserable, isolated and cold but their misery, isolation and coldness have helped inspire some of the world's finest love poetry, according to Irving Layton, Jewish Montreal poet and literary firebrand.
"The dehumanizing forces are not so irresistibly powerful here as in the United States, Great Britain or the Soviet Union," Layton writes in the current issue of Maclean's "They will of course mature and ripen in time and will be as devastating to Canadians as they have been to the denizens of New York, Moscow and London.
"In the interval, however, our poets have been able to write of love as the grandest of human experiences and to turn to the everlasting poles of male and female for that intensification of life that alone can make the long winter nights endurable. .
"In this vast empty space, in this white blankness, love defines us, gives us a habitation and a name. More than others, our poets have known this to be true, and therefore their lyrics have a concreteness and particularity, an authenticity, unmatched by those of any other coun-| try."
