description The analysis of the relationship between man and nature in Canadian poetry written in English shows that Canadian artists have traditionally been both attracted and repelled by the vastness and savage beauty of the Canadian landscape and, consequently, have described their land as both heaven and hell, a matrix of life and a source of terror and death. This article highlights this dialectic of opposites by opening an angle on the work of well-known Canadian writers such as the Confederation poets, who are treated as a group with similar concerns and ways of writing, Edwin John Pratt (1882-1964), and John Newlove (1938-). All of them have incorporated the tension inherent to the Canadian experience to their poetry though they have articulated it in a different way as each age has its own rendering of the same idea.
