In Canadian Wetlands, Rod Giblett reads the Canadian canon against the grain, critiquing popular representations of wetlands and proposing alternatives by highlighting the work of recent and contemporary Canadian authors, such as Douglas Lochhead and Harry Thurston, and by entering into dialogue with American writers. Canadian Wetlands will engender mutual respect between researchers for the contribution that different disciplinary approaches can and do make to the study and conservation of wetlands internationally.
Rod Giblett is associate professor in the School of Communications and Arts at Edith Cowan University in Perth, Australia.
