IRVING
LAYTON
A poet, short-story writer, and
essayist, Layton is perhaps the most well-known of the Montreal
poets, a group of young poets who engaged in a battle against
romanticism in poetry in the 1940's. Layton has published many
poetry collections and he has won the Governor General's Award.
Layton was nominated for the Nobel Prize in 1981.
