This is a unique historical journey that will offer readers a glimpse of our countryıs past as it was: renowned Group of Seven painter Lawren Harris boldly brings to us, by way of poetry and painting, a looking-lens onto the "urbanizing experience."
In 1922, as the Group of Seven was emerging as a national phenomenon, Lawren Harris published his only book of poems Contrasts the first modernist exploration of Canadian urban space in verse. Harris also wandered the streets of Toronto, sketching, and creating a powerful set of urban paintings. Lawren Harris: In the Ward brings his poetry and painting together for the first time. The book, including nine previously unpublished poems, offers a new view of Harrisı pre-Group of Seven career, while presenting an exciting window into urban space at the turn of the century.
