Working in the tradition of such previous poetry collections as Daphne MarlattOs Vancouver Poems (1972), George BoweringOs Kerrisdale Elegies (1986), Joe BladesO River Suite (1998) and, closer to home, William HawkinsO own Ottawa Poems (1966), rob mclennanOs thirteenth trade poetry collection The Ottawa City Project reads like a love song to a city caught between competing identities of OlocalO and OnationalO. The poems in this collection work to not only reflect the more conservative, even bureaucratic aspects of the city, but the myths of the city, and work through references and concerns that go completely against those myths, into their own stories, and into the realities of the city itself.
