Alden A. Nowlan is considered one of the most important Canadian poets of the twentieth century.  Born in Nova Scotia in 1933, he later moved to New Brunswick.  He began writing poetry, and was first published in The Fiddlehead, a key Canadian literary magazine, by editor Fred Cogswell, who would also publish his first poetry collection in 1958.  In 1967 he won the Governor General's Award for Poetry in English.  In addition to poetry, he also wrote fiction, drama, and essays, although he is best known for his poetry. His poetic style was notable for its humanist focus, and its emphasis on accessibility.  He wanted his poetry to be accessible to everyone, and was famously quoted as saying "if there comes a time that truck drivers read poetry mine will be the poetry they read." The name "Harry Howith" is written in black pen on the front cover, suggesting that this copy may have come from the collection of Canadian poet Harry Howith (1934-2014).
