Abstract

This paper analyses the selected poems of A.M. Klein and Irving Layton, prominent writers of Canadian Literature. Some features of Jewish Diaspora are discussed in this paper. It is understood through their poems that the diasporic experience of Jews identically differs from other diasporas. The poems written by both the poets picture the diasporic experience of Jews in their host lands – very importantly their bitter experience – the holocaust and the common diasporic elements can also be found in their poems.
