A new edition of James Reaney`s classic long poem which has been described, variously, as `the toughest and funniest, most literary and most serious long poem in English-Canadian literature` (Germaine Warkentin) and conversely as `whimsical self-indulgence` (W. J. Keith). A Suit of Nettles won the Governor General`s award for poetry in 1958.
