xx Willows Revisited by Paul G. Hiebert EPUB The biographer of the immortal Sarah Binks, revered as the "Sweet Songstress of Saskatchewan," here brings to public recognition the poets known as the Saskatchewan School of Seven, or possibly, the school of Seven-and-a-half (if we are to include the voice of M). From the momentous twenty-fifth anniversary gathering of these literary lights at the grave of Sarah Binks flowed impressive cultural developments. This celebration and the Saskatchewan semi-centennial Jubilee of 1955 engendered a splendid new Centennial project designed to benefit a nation whose Muse is rendered mute by regional rivalry and the decline of local newspapers such as The Horsebreeder’s Gazette, not to mention the ingrained reluctance of poets to regard as worth reading anything written by somebody else. The proposed "Poem-of-the-Month," already assured success by the enthusiastic response of government and television personalities, will allow any unpublished citizen to read, recite, or even sing his best work at one of the many centennial arts centres springing up throughout the country. The cultural possibilities are overwhelming. Distinguished critic Paul Hiebert here gives an account of these seminal anniversary celebrations and poignant sketches of the poets themselves and examples of their original work. The Great Dean of the Group is John Swivel, native of Quagmire, Saskatchewan, an unsuccessful tombstone salesman who discovered that he could stimulate business by throwing in three "In Memoriam" verses with each tombstone. Around him clusters a galaxy of poets so various and unique as to engage and delight all tastes. Paul Hiebert renders an important service to Canadian letters by analyzing the qualities these poets have in common: namely, innerness and the use of the cow as leitmotif, which he traces to "archetypal bovinism"—surely a fresh concept in critical theory. Willows Revisited is the long-awaited sequel to the now-classic Sarah Binks which won the Leacock Medal for Humour in 1947, It is a book full of hilarious deadpan thrusts at culture vultures, pretentious politics and politicians, inflated poets and critics, and many other contemporary foibles. This deceptively straightforward narrative provides the reader with wonderful entertainment and does so memorably. xx
