Bruce Whiteman Pleiades Press Interview with Bruce Whiteman

Although he has published extensively as a rare books librarian, scholar, and critic, Whiteman has called writing poetry “the part of my life I’m most passionate about.” Known primarily as a prose poet who has been compared to fellow Canadian poets Christopher Dewdney and bpNichol, Whiteman’s opus magnum is The Invisible World is In Decline, a continuing long poem he began working on in 1981 and which was first published in 1984; the work now comprises six books, with a seventh in progress as of 2012. A 2015 publication entitled Tablature marked Whiteman’s return to the sort of verse poetry that characterized much of his earlier work.
