Brewster is most often remembered for her connections to Canadian literary modernism and East Coast literature. This article contributes to a more thorough understanding of Brewster's work beyond regional and periodization frameworks. Detailing the rich intertextuality of her writing, the article analyses her poetic representations of her literary peers, her evocations of writers from across the centuries, and her citational and intertextual devices. With examples including Margaret Atwood, Bliss Carman, Samuel Coleridge, H.D., Alden Nowlan, P.K. Page, Ezra Pound, and more, this article demonstrates that Brewster incorporates these writers and their words into her poetry through strategies that blend the intertextual, biographical, and autobiographical. Ultimately, Brewster's devotion to reading and her creative practice conjure transhistorical textual communities. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of University of Toronto Quarterly is the property of University of Toronto Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
