The Circle Game

As a part of the launch of the new A List series, a curated selection of titles from Anansi's backlist featuring handsome new covers and introductions by well - known writers, comes Margaret Atwood's Governor General's Literary Award winning <i>The Circle Game</i>, with an introduction by Suzanne Buffam. The appearance of Margaret Atwood's first major collection of poetry marked the beginning of a truly outstanding career in Canadian and international letters. The voice in these poems is as witty, vulnerable, direct, and incisive as we've come to know in later works, such as <i>Power Politics, Bodily Harm</i>, and <i>Alias Grace</i>. Atwood writes compassionately about the risks of love in a technological age, and the quest for identity in a universe that cannot quite be trusted. Containing many of Atwood's best and most famous poems, <i>The Circle Game</i> won the 1966 Governor General's Literary Award for Poetry and rapidly attained an international reputation as a classic of modern poetry.
