The appearance ofMargaret Atwood'sfirst 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 asPower Politics,Bodily Harm, andAlias Grace. 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,The Circle Gamewon the1966 Governor General's Award for Poetryand rapidly attained an international reputation as a classic of modern poetry. This beautiful edition of The Circle Game contains the complete collection, with an introduction bySherrill E. Graceof the University of British Columbia.
