Selected Poems 1985–2020 is Steven Heighton's seventh volume of poetry and the first since his Governor General's Literary Award–winning collection, The Waking Comes Late . Incorporating a grouping of previously unpublished poetry and a selection of key poems from his six previous acclaimed collections, this timely volume showcases a generational talent whose work has been described by critics as "exhilarating," "genuine," and "arrestingly beautiful." Heighton's debut collection, Stalin's Carnival , won the Gerald Lampert Award for Best First Book of Poetry in 1990. Subsequent books, which include bestselling novels, essays, and critical writings, confirmed Heighton as an exciting and important voice in Canadian letters. Heighton's poetry is recognised for its technical skill, musicality, its erudition, and its empathy and unvarnished emotion.
