Rogue Stimulus - The Stephen Harper Holiday Anthology for a Prorogued Parliament (Paperback)

When Prime Minister Stephen Harper prorogued Parliament (for the second time in a year ) on December 30, 2009, he punted many vital bills into oblivion. But he also inspired hundreds of poems after Mansfield Press announced this government-toppling anthology. This book gathers a range of responses--from outrage to slapstick--by acclaimed poets (including Canada's first Parliamentary Poet Laureate and several winners of the Governor General's Award for Poetry), previously unpublished poets and, to paraphrase Stephen Harper, ordinary working Canadians.
