This is one of Canada’s voices that lived through the Robertson Davies era; the Morley Callaghan, Dorothy Livesay, Margaret Laurence, Ethel Wilson and Anne Wilkinson years that returns to the experience of how women lived and were shaped by the 20th century. We do not have an array of widely published women poets prior to the 1960s. In Ann Elizabeth Carson’s Laundry Lines: A Memoir in Stories and Poems, we witness how one woman’s language translates over 75 years from one century into the new millennium.
