Rogue Stimulus: The Stephen Harper Holiday Anthology for a Prorogued Parliament

By Stephen Brockwell

When Prime Minister Stephen Harper prorogued Parliament (for the second time in a year ) on December 30, 2009, he punted many vital bills into oblivion. But he also inspired hundreds of poems after Mansfield Press announced this government-toppling anthology. This book gathers a range of responses from outrage to slapstick by acclaimed poets (including Canada's first Parliamentary Poet Laureate and several winners of the Governor General's Award for Poetry), previously unpublished poets and, to paraphrase Stephen Harper, ordinary working Canadians.
