He goes on to say that “ the flow of town and history, of the Japanese people and the cannery, especially of the river and language, are more securely rooted in place and concentrated in the writing consciousness than in any other of her books .” And according to www. athabascau. ca, Net Work: Selected Writing is “ a selection of poetry spanning from Frames of a Story ( 1968 ) to What Matters ( 1980 ) is an excellent cross-section of her early poetry .” It is through these pieces and earlier pieces that Marlatt ’ s feminist theory begins to emerge.
