Abstract
This is a structural analysis of Italian Canadian poetry and its functional relationship to that society. Much of the study is theoretical in nature and the author's analysis is made more difficult to understand by his use of jargonistic terminology throughout. Several brief excerpts from the works of Italian Canadian poets are presented in the text.
