Hallmark: Canada's 150th Anniversary

by Emily Isaacson

This commemorative edition showcases the select poetry of Canadian poet Emily Isaacson, from her simple pieces to the epic. This work surrounds the guillotine of the recession that has influenced Canadians over the past decade. It is evident her readers have only begun to taste her nuances, wording, and poetic structure, including her own invention “the eclipsed poem.” Her dedicated voice has spoken in poetry to royals, cloisters, people groups, and nations. This poignant and lyrical collection rises to stir our hearts from poverty to the ornamental. Emily Isaacson writes her sacred words as we enter the Baroque era of the internet. Her prolific verse sparks poetry with life.

About the author

This author also writes under: W.E. Isaacson

Emily Isaacson’s poetry is classic Canadiana literature. After 35 years of crafting poetry, her lyrical voice and practiced ear produce a carefree and lilting result: the sea, the journey, the ship all come to life in this postmodern poetry with romance and spiritual transcendence as destination.

The Wild Lily Institute was founded for research and education in literature, the arts, and medicine. Located in the Fraser Vallley of British Columbia, we feature the writing and analog photography of Emily Isaacson, her work and legacy. A regular visitor of Westminster Abbey here in the valley, her writing reflects the solitude and mythology of the Canadian wilderness, the sea, the stars and the First Nations people.

Isaacson's elaborate verse and multimedia art bring poetry to life. She has created multimedia videos of her poetry, numerous blogs, and a web tapestry to display her art. Her poetry books relay her sincerity and dedication to her craft, and hundreds of readers flock to the realms of Avalon portrayed by this distinctively prolific and beloved poet.
