“Coquette,” by Mona McTavish

McTavish, Mona (Garthé). “Coquette.” Creative Young Canada: Collection of Verse, Drawings and Musical Compositions by Young Canadians from Seven to Twenty Years of Age. Ed. Aletta E. Marty. Toronto: Dent, 1928. 125.

Mona Gould (née McTavish) is much on our minds lately, as her granddaughter, Maria Meindl, has recently published a fascinating biography: Outside the Box: The Life and Legacy of Writer Mona Gould, The Grandmother I Thought I Knew (Montreal, QC & Kingston, ON: McGill-Queen’s UP, 2011). The biography is based not only on personal experience, but on the extensive Mona Gould fonds held at the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library, University of Toronto. The archive contains a myriad of previously unpublished poems as well as newspapers clippings that have no bibliographic information on them… Having spent a day or two with Gould’s papers, I am in awe of Meindl’s undertaking…

Imagine our delight, therefore, when Dr. Carole Gerson found a little volume of poetry tucked into the shelves at SFU entitled Creative Young Canada: Collection of Verse, Drawings and Musical Compositions by Young Canadians from Seven to Twenty Years of Age. As the collection was published in 1928, with contributions first published in the Toronto Globe between 1918 and 1928, it is not entirely surprising that Mona McTavish should appear there; she does, however, have the greatest number of pieces of any one author: 7, where most have only 1.

Another interesting detail about this collection is that the young poets also contributed their own artwork, which is sprinkled throughout the volume.  Mona McTavish illustrated “Coquette” with her own silhouette design, and another appears on page 55 accompanying a poem by Hope Alexander. Notice particularly the delightful signature icon Mona McTavish has devised for herself, rather like book illustrators use to sign their otherwise unattributed work.

Coquette

Fair Muse, would you forsake me heartlessly
Because I clip your wings to earn my food,
And leave me mute and voiceless and afraid
When phrases will not come to cloak a mood?

Ah, Muse! If you but knew the pangs I feel
When I am forced to check your shining flight,
You would not starve my soul for lovely words
And plunge my spirit starkly into night!

“Health,” by Blanche E. Markstad

Markstad, Blanche E. “Health.” In Poems by Blanche E. Markstad, 1897-1975. Ed. Don Buchanan.  [Edmonton, AB: Editor, 2011]. 11.

Sometime between 1916 and 1918, Blanche Elizabeth MacDonald moved west from Nova Scotia to Alberta to teach at the Elk Point school.  In 1918, she married Charles John Markstad, a widower with 5 young daughters. Three more daughters followed, and the second of these, Edythe (“Edy”), married Don Buchanan, who gathered his mother-in-law’s poetry—written mainly for the family—and produced this 62-page collection.  A comment on the Elk Point historical website notes that Blanche Markstad had some of her earlier poetry “published in the Lutheran Herald,” so we are looking for that.

I am indebted to Dr. Isobel Grundy, Professor Emeritus in the Department of English and Film Studies at the University of Alberta, for providing me with a copy of the collection.

Health (1925)

How nice it is to feel again
The longed for breath of health,
The breath that brings to us always
The source of all our wealth.

How often when we lie abed
In sickness and in pain,
We plan on marvelous things to do
When we get well again.

And when the day comes that we place
Our feet upon the floor,
The joys of full a thousand years
Are blended in that hour.

And then as day by day our strength
Returns to us again,
A new life seems to rise and stay
Within our poor weak frame.

Oh kindly is our Maker then
To grant us such release
From pain and suffering here beyond
In heaven, forever peace.

Women of Canada (1930)

Women of Canada. Montreal, QC: Women of Canada, 1930.

No poem today, but a list of women included in this remarkable biographical collection. If anyone is working on early Canadian women artists, or musicians, you must read through this text; I am sure you will glean some fascinating new names and biographical information. The collection does not appear to be based on level or quality of production, but rather on who felt like getting a page together in honour of a woman they thought should be included.  Some of the pages’ sponsors are explicitly named, but most aren’t.

A few of the women are “famous” for being the wives of famous or affluent men, but for the most part these women have contributed significantly to the building of Canadian society: some authors, artists, and musicians, but also a number of women who sat on boards or were active campaigners for social justice and change.

I have marked those authors who we are to include with an asterisk*, and identified the two (yes, only two!) that we already have included in our database at Simon Fraser University.  But the wealth of information was something I could not put back on the shelf unrevealed, so I have marked the names of all of the women, as they appear in the book. This way, too, when one of them shows up on our radar in the future, we will know she is here…

Enjoy!

“Our Little Life,” by Molly Beresford

Beresford, Mary A. “Our Little Life.” Dalhousie Review 4 (1924): 192.

“Our Little Life” won second prize in the Dennis Verse Competition for Dalhousie students in 1924, earning Molly Beresford $100; the online CPI Inflation calculator notes that this prize would amount to $1,322.98 today.

Molly Beresford was one of “The Song Fishermen,” a group of Atlantic Canadian poets in the mid to late 1920s who banded together to share and publish their poetry.

Our Little Life

Forth in the golden dawn my lady goes,
Frail as a blossom delicate and rare,
Crowning her beauty with a wild white rose—
Herself than rose more fair.

No Paladin wants she; proudly alone,
Singing she goes, with eager eyes afire,
Seeking to win wide kingdoms for her own
Is all her high desire.

*   *   *

See in the dusk my lady homeward creep,
Nor any captives in her train hath she
Save bitter loneliness, and sorrow deep,
And sleepless memory.

Tired eyes look out through coronals of tears,
Silent is she—weary her step and slow,
A lily spent and broken with the years,
Her proud head drooping low.

*   *   *

“Ah, sweet my lady”, one there is who saith
“Nor further seek nor strive—long fought and won
Thy kingdom lieth here, and easeful death
Shall lead thee to life’s crown.”
