Richard Outram

Essays on His Works

First edition

by

This volume presents the first posthumous panorama of poet Richard Outram's work and achievement. It includes an interview, a lecture, an elegy, and new essays by poets and writers who admire Outram's commitment to “concision and precision” in language. Outram, who died in January, 2005, has been quietly lauded as a major figure in 20th-century English-Canadian literature. Yet in his lifetime, despite international attention, he received only minor recognition from Canada's literary establishment. Born in 1930, in Oshawa, Ontario, he studied English and philosophy at the University of Toronto. Northrop Frye and Emil Fackenheim, who were among his professors, remained important figures for him in the example they had set of "living an examined life, the life of the mind."
