 Young Poets
Bronwen Wallace was born in 1945 in Kingston, Ontario, and educated at Queens University.
The Bronwen Wallace Memorial Prize, funded by friends of the poet and the Writers Trust of Canada, is an annual prize given to a young, promising poet or fiction writer who is under the age of 35, unpublished, and just beginning their writing life.
Wallace's poetry mines the reality of ordinary lives, telling their stories, reaching down into the inner dimensions of these lives, exposing their hopes, their loneliness, their despair.

Bronwen Wallace was a writer of poetry, short-fiction, and personal essays; a contemporary of Erin Mouré, Dionne Brand, and Daphne Marlatt, among others.
Wallace was born in Kingston, and spent much of her life there writing, contributing to the local paper, editing for Quarry Magazine and Oberon Press, working in various centres for battered women and children, teaching in the English department at Queens University; as well as raising her son with her husband, Chris Whynot.
Bronwen Wallace’s literary work falls into the oral tradition, and her writing is personal: at times confessional, always reflective of her existence and environment.

 Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Mouré floods Wallace with essays by feminist theorists and her critique of them in letters bristling with capital letters, strings of exclamations and interrogatives, and an insistence on what women must/should/have to do.
Wallace sidesteps the questions, arguing for a narrative poetics of the particular that speaks to the larger experiences of "women." In her foreword of 1993, Mouré has the final word: the letters represent "a struggle to know" and the friends' parting was "amicable."
Contra Mouré, Wallace's final position in Imprints and Casualties is that this discussion of women and language alienated the two poets.

 Bolder Flights: Essays on the Canadian Long Poem by Jon Kertzer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Their poems reverse the conventional strategy, usually ascribed to Pratt, by which tropology (the rhetoric of identity) seeks fulfilment in topology (place, home, dwelling, nation).
Instead, we find a pattern of endless beginnings in Arnason, a radical (rooted) open-endedness in Wah, of side-stepping displacements in Wallace, of passionate abjection in Gunnars, of trespass in Cooley.
Bolder Flights will be a useful volume for admirers of the Canadian long poem, although it contains few surprises.
