Souldust and Pearls V: Poetry Anthology 1985

Toby Rupert was a librarian living in Toronto.

This is an earnest collection of about 100 poems by students and teachers from Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Manitoba, and British Columbia written during the academic year 1984/85. Selected from over 1,000 submissions, the poems range from rhymed couplets to experimental free verse, from nature images to science fiction. This is supposed to be an annual publication, dedicated to promoting poetry as written in the educational systems across Canada (although only five provinces are represented).
