SMITH, A. J. M.; TREHEARNE, Brian (ed.)
Arthur James Marshall Smith (1902 1980) was a prominent member of the Montreal Group of poets, including Leon Edel, Leo Kennedy, A. M. Klein, and F. R. Scott, who distinguished themselves by their modernism in a culture still largely Victorian. Essentially Canadian, his poem The Lonely Land (p. 228) was inspired by a Group of Seven exhibition, while other poems refer to Marshall McLuhan and A Fat Willing Girl of Toronto.
