48% Informative

Margaret Atwood’s book of poetry, The Circle Game , was published in 1964 , but there is no Circle Game poem in the book.

In researching to see if Atwood had written a poem titled The City Planners , which I had never come across before.

The poem is very critical of 1960s suburban design — “the houses in pedantic rows, the planted sanitary trees”.
