Bentley, D.M.R. "? Subtle Mourning': P.K. Page's 'The Permanent Tourists.'" In "Literary Theory in the Classroom: Three Views of P.K. Page's 'The Permanent Tourists.'" Canadian Poetry 19 (Fall-Winter 1986): 68-73.

Bentley undertakes a reading of Page's "The Permanent Tourists" in the context of the "baseland orientation in Canadian poetry." Bentley's analysis focusses primarily on instances of mise en paysage developing a "poem/photograph parallel" out of the "rectilinear stanzas," as well as the "modes of representation involved in the poem - poetry and photography." Included are excerpts from two letters written to Page, in which she is questioned concerning this "stanza/photograph parallel" and to which she replies "the rectangular stanzas - I may well have thought of them as photographs.... all I can say is that if I didn't think of it at the time, I should have!" Bentley studies in detail the penultimate stanza. Page's poem is a "product of high modernism" as is evidenced in its "elevated conception of art and the artist." Bentley concludes that despite the seeming "[inescapability] of being a permanent tourist," in poetry "of the baseland orientation ... in our encounters with fellow tourists, there will be at least moments of clairvoyance and empathy when gaps drop."
