Although the following chapters help to measure the celebrity of various poets, and although their recognition in public can to some extent be understood in terms of commodities and other such things, my focus is on other issues. Celebrity does move cash; it is transactional, but it is also a cultural phenomenon that obviously depends upon fantasies of more intimate exchanges, and of changing clothes and dressing up to be someone different. Celebrities and fans are involved with each other in such imitation and identification.}, bookauthor = {JOEL DESHAYE}, booktitle = {The Metaphor of Celebrity: Canadian Poetry and the Public, 1955-1980}, pages = {3--13}, publisher = {University of Toronto Press}, title = {Introduction}, year = {2013} }
