introduction by L.Andrew Coward.

Catherine Ahearn, Tony Cosier, Michael Dean, Margaret Dyment, Robert Hogg, Steve McCaffery, Michael Moon, Colin Morton, John O'Neill, Gary Ouimet, Steven Smith, Richard Truhlar.

 

while this is not exactly 1oo% describable as "an anthology of concrete poetry", its primary contributors (outside the poetry contest inclusions) supplied just short of 5o% "extralinear" material, including concrete, visual & sound poetry (scores), the greater percentage of whom are particularly notable for their contributions to Canadian extralinearature.
