Irving Layton WAS a genius in the realm of Canadian letters. He has a bunch of bad poems, bad takes, he's old world flawed, sure, but his best poems are shockingly wonderful and deep, there's nothing else like them in Canadian letters.
Just got "Raging Like a Fire" - a celebration of Irving Layton, and that's what brought me to this video. Love the poem he read at the end of the video. Look forward to reading the book more after this.
