Division Street

Division Street is a complex, multifaceted, memoiresk, collection of poems about growing up in small town Ontario in the early 1960’s.  This is Arthur Bull’s fifth collection of poetry. It brings together a historical, cultural, political and personal perspective of a 12-year-old, looking out on his worlds from the shore of Lake Ontario.  Drawing together popular culture, current events, historical reflections with personal narrative, it features appearances by Godzilla, Poe, Diefenbaker and Mister Ed, among many others. Arthur Bull’s world is balanced on the edge of the maelstrom of the 60’s seen through the eyes of someone on the verge of becoming a teenager.
