Canadian women poets like Isabella Valancy Crawford, Margret Atwood, Anne Marriott, Catherine Owen, Margret Avison, Dorothy Livesey and P. K. Page have beautifully portrayed the beauty of Canada. Their poetry is quite in tune with the country’s climatic surroundings. Its ambience and scene of the land commingles with the creative urges of these poets before shaping the contours of their literature this paper examines how the women poets in Canada have from the time to time returned to the landscape for the soul of their poetry.
