Dreamwork
Part of a series of books of poetry on dream and its relation to actuality, Dreamwork is an exploration of the then and there, here and now, of landscapes and inscapes over time. The poems explore past, present, and future in places from Canada through New Jersey, New York, and New England to-- England and Europe as part of the speaker's journey. A typology of home and displacement, of natural beauty and industrial scars unfold in the movement of the book.
Making and Seeing Modern Texts
Making and Seeing Modern Texts explores the poetics of texts through a close reading and analysis across the genres of poetry, drama, fiction, non-fiction travel literature and theory. This volume demonstrates that prose, as much as poetry, share the making and seeing of language, literary practice, and theory. Genre, then, is presented as a guide that crosses multiple boundaries. This volume selects different ways to examine texts, discussing Michael Ondaatje’s early poetry and examining narrative in Philip Roth’s The Human Stain. The book examines images in poetry, narrative in fiction, prefaces in non-fiction, metatheatre in drama, and attempts to see the modern and postmodern in theory, all of which show us the complexities of modernity or later modernity. One of the innovations is that the author, a literary critic/theorist, poet and historian, takes his training in practice and theory and shows, through examples of each, how language operates across genres.
Unforgetting Private Charles Smith
Private Charles Smith had been dead for close to a century when Jonathan Hart discovered the soldier’s small diary in the Baldwin Collection at the Toronto Public Library. The diary’s first entry was marked 5 June 1915. After some research, Hart discovered that Charles Smith was an Anglo-Canadian, born in Kent, and that this diary was almost all that remained of this forgotten man, who like so many soldiers from ordinary families had lost his life in the First World War. In reading the diary, Hart discovered a voice full of life, and the presence of a rhythm, a cadence that urged him to bring forth the poetry in Smith’s words. Unforgetting Private Charles Smith is the poetic setting of the words in Smith’s diary, work undertaken by Hart with the intention of remembering Smith’s life rather than commemorating his death.
Musing
Musing is a book of sonnets, combining one of poetry's most classic forms with history and landscape. Ranging from the traditional to the innovative, Jonathan Locke Hart captures a piece of European poetic flavour and mingles the experience with North American artistic flair.
Shakespeare and Asia
Shakespeare and Asia brings together innovative scholars from Asia or with Asian connections to explore these matters of East-West and global contexts then and now.

Language in Literature
It examines English, Comparative and World poetry and literature. Questions of language, literature, translation and creative writing are addressed as befitting an author who is a poet, literary scholar and historian. The book discusses metaphor, translation, culture, image, text, the Cold War, poet, scholar and creative writer.
Shakespeare, the Renaissance and Empire
Shakespeare, the Renaissance and Empire presents Shakespeare as both a local and global writer, investigating Shakespeare’s trans-cultural writing through the interrelations and interactions of binaries including theory and practice, past and present, aesthetics and ethics, freedom and tyranny, republic and empire, empires and colonies, poetry and history, rhetoric and poetics, England and America, and England and Asia. The book breaks away from traditional western-centric analysis to present a universal Shakespeare, exposing readers to the relevance and significance of Shakespeare within their local contexts and cultures. This text aims to present a global Shakespeare, utilizing a dual perspective or dialectical presentation, mainly centred on questions of (1) how Shakespeare can be viewed as both an English writer and a world writer; (2) how language operates across genres and kinds of discourse; and (3) how Shakespeare helps to articulate a poetics of both texts (literature) and contexts (cultures). The book’s originality lies in its articulation of the importance and value of Shakespeare in the emerging landscape of global culture.
Textual Imitation: Making and Seeing in Literature
Textual Imitation offers a new critique of the space between fiction and truth, poetry and philosophy. In a nimble, yet startlingly wide-ranging argument, esteemed scholar Jonathan Hart argues that recognition and misrecognition are the keys to understanding texts and contexts from the Old World to the New World.
Breath & Dust
Spanning some twenty-five years, Breath and Dust speaks of the unfolding of life--the joy of discovery, the pain of loss, and the fragility of love. In this collection, we watch a poet grow through time. A poet of geography both real and imagined, Jonathan Hart gives us the world in a new form, with new feeling. "These are the lyrics of a person who moves feeling fully in the landscapes both of home and of the most distant realms, in the chronologies of his own life, his ancestors' and the ancestors' of alien peoples..." - Mary Baine Campbell Published by Mattoid/Grange Distributed by University of Alberta Press
