Bruce Whiteman was born near Toronto in 1952. After working as a rare book librarian at McMaster and McGill Universities, in 1996 he moved to Los Angeles, where he is the Head Librarian of the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library at UCLA. | ||
The author is pictured here standing next to the painting "Poet on the Beach" by Milton Jewel. |
He has published a number of collections of poetry, most recently Visible Stars: New and Selected Poems (The Muses' Company, 1995). The Invisible World Is in Decline is a continuing long poem. Books II-IV were published by Coach House Press in 1989, and Book V is in process. He has also published extensively on Canadian literary and publishing history, and recently published a book on the Group of Seven painter J.E.H. MacDonald (Quarry Press 1995). | |

A book of brilliant, evocative texts that speaks of events beyond both biography and history. Whiteman transforms the words of technology into a new metalanguage for our private sorrows The Invisible World Is In Decline was originally published in  1984 by the Coach House Press.
It was very well received then, and given the fine writing and its continued
relevance as we approach the end of the millennium, it is being published again
here at Coach House Books online. It also exists in print form, and can be
ordered via our secure server. That's a picture of the cover just
over to the right there. | ||
