This literary work features a curated selection of poems, many of which were previously published in esteemed literary journals such as Poetry and The Tamarack Review. The book captures the essence of mid-20th-century Canadian life through evocative imagery, documenting urban scenes, nature, and personal reflections. With a diverse table of contents ranging from \"The Day Before Christmas\" to \"The Worm,\" Souster explores themes of daily existence, social observations, and the human condition. This collection serves as a significant contribution to Canadian literature, showcasing Souster's sharp observational skills and his ability to find poetic beauty in the mundane details of everyday reality. It remains an essential read for those interested in post-war North American poetry and the development of the Canadian literary voice.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":15,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/as-is-raymond-souster-poetry-collection/427168/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/as-is-raymond-souster-poetry-collection/427168.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Cipher","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-13","2026-09-29",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":19},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"Who is the author of the poetry collection AS IS?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The collection was written by the Canadian poet Raymond Souster.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"When and by whom was AS IS originally published?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"The book was published in 1967 by the Oxford University Press (Canadian Branch).",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"What are some of the poetic themes explored in this collection?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"The poems cover a wide range of topics, including daily urban life, reflections on nature, social observations, and personal moments captured in titles like 'Kensington Market,' 'Jazzman,' and 'The Day Before Christmas.'","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},427168,1790994940,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":14,"category_name":15,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":19,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":139,"language":140,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":144,"read_time":145},687208528416,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_9964176cb1d06d4a9deccf72a44ae3dc","AS IS  \nRaymondSouster  \n鲜  \nZIEz990000966 E  \nS3I8V8817 M3IMSN089 M3N 0 AIISH3AIN0/5 sy  \nLV+60'ZES8Sd  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n| NHOf ⊥NIVS NI  \u003Cbr>YJIMSNBA8 MN30人IISJ3AINn  \u003Cbr>人dVy817   |\n\n\n| BHLO  \u003Cbr>(\"ANI)ONISSIN  \u003Cbr>039VWVa  \u003Cbr>⊥SO7  \u003Cbr>Q310373S³a□  \u003Cbr>NMVdGHLIM   |\n| --- |\n\nPlease return or renew by  \nlatest date below  \n\n| APP-241960!
