	Amazon.ca: George Bowering: Selected Poems 1961-92: Books: George Bowering (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		George Bowering's poetic output has slowed since the early 1980s, when he began to devote his prolific and versatile imagination almost exclusively to prose fiction.
		Bowering writes, "love is a yearning / by the night stars for a body full of blood," a line that so effortlessly captures the smallness of the body up against eternity.
		Since he is still in midstride, Bowering's flaws excite when viewed beside his strengths: they point to the poems not yet written, the ones to be written by the elder Bowering, the deathless ones.

	George Bowering Summary
		George Harry Bowering (born December 1, 1935) is a prolific Canadian novelist, poet, historian, and biographer.
		A survey of Bowering's writing becomes a study of the principles of language at work: the subtleties of cadence and rime, the use of the lyric or serial poem form, the associative way in which language sometimes unfolds, as well as Bowering's use of the poetic breath line and rambling prose line.
		George Bowering has descended from the Black Mountain to cock a snook at post-modern fiction, to have some fun with Canadian nationalism, Canadian history, Canadian literary personalities, and to raise some heavy philosophical issues….

	Amazon.ca: Imaginary Hand: Books: George Bowering (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		It goes by the name of canon-anxiety, and it is an antic disposition that seeks to decolonize Canadian literature and criticism by ridding these fields of Brit-haunted history, fiction, and critical theory.
		George Bowering, more wittily playful than Davey, and more interested in the "imaginary" hand of writing, also exercises an animus against the Brits, complaining that in Canada we remained too young for Modernism for too long.
		It is possible, as George Bowering shows in his collection Imaginary Hand, to use deconstructionist criticism without draining pleasure away from either readable text or reader.

	Jacket 28 - October 2005 - rob mclennan: Introduction: George Bowering at 70
		Throughout the 1960s onward, whatever the avant was at the time, somehow Bowering was almost always at the front of it, whether leading it through his poetry, fiction, critical work, editing or publishing, all the while still working on his sports writing, that he had started as a high school columnist for the local paper.
		Bowering’s example as a prolific poet, fiction writer, editor, publisher and troublemaker was unparalleled, and he often got himself into spats with writers from the east, or even from his own home city.
		Bowering returned to Vancouver in the early 1970s for a teaching position at Simon Fraser University, from which he retired in 2001.

	The Griffin Trust For Excellence In Poetry: Shortlist 2005 - George Bowering
		Bowering won the 1969 Governor General’s Literary Award in the poetry category for his works The Gangs of Cosmos and Rocky Mountain Foot.
		Bowering’s voice is instantly recognisable throughout, in all its variants, its pulling of high into “low” culture, its borrowings from older poetries we all know.
		Bowering is the poet of delight in earthly matters, of bemusement at the self.
