Description
A microscopic and intense view of the sometimes invisible and ignored parts of the world we inhabit. Peering into cities and our place within them, the poet searches for meaning after the death of his father, and observes the flora and fauna, which provide beauty and nourish us. This book delights the senses and poses the question, are we contributing to, or ultimately destroying our planet?

"Into the rhubarb: headed off the road; to get into trouble; a brawl, argument, or squabble."
In her fifth volume of poetry, Carla Coles once again brings us into her inimitable inner world. This time, along with her odes to the pleasures of coffee and cake and writing, she delves into the darker emotions of betrayal, endings, and coming through the fire with her sense of humour intact and her gift with words honed to a new level of insight.

When life starts to hurt, what do you do?
Do you let the pain destroy you or do you become stronger and conquer it?
Come take this bittersweet journey with Rama, as she examines emotions we are, often told to ignore, our ability to feel, understand, and deal with pain.
When It Starts to Hurt is composed of three parts that explore how we talk about (or never talk about) death, addiction, mental illness, and harmful relationships.

"Please stay with me, please stay here, please cause poltergeists in my stupid apartment..."
Late in the evening of December 13, 2007, Andrea Actis found her father, Jeff, facedown dead in her East Vancouver apartment. So began her passage through grief, self-reckoning, and graduate school in Providence, Rhode Island, where the poetics she studied (and sometimes repudiated) became integral to her gradual reconstruction of wholeness. An assemblage...

Watching a Man Break a Dog's Back explores the question of how to live in a natural landscape that offers beauty while being consumed by industry, and in an economy that offers material benefits while denying dignity, meaning and a voice to many in order to satisfy the outsized appetites of the few. A cri de coeur from a poet who has long celebrated the voices of working people, the collection also grapples with why "anyone, in this era so profoundly...

Lyric poetry that is light without being frivolous, for people who are more punk than prog. This is poetry that doesn't try too hard to be important, instead reveling in its utter lack of importance and celebrating man's right to clown around - often his only defense against a cruelly stacked deck.

Chaque texte révèle un message, une émotion. Choisissez un texte au hasard et regardez ce qu'il vous fait remonter en vous. Un jour un ami m'a donné une phrase. Cette phrase ne s'appliquait pas à moi à l'époque. Inconsciemment, cette phrase est restée dans le fond de mes connaissances, près des oubliettes. Six mois plus tard, après ma deuxième tentative de suicide, au plus profond de mes ténèbres, cette petite phrase est remontée à...

In her newest collection, Lorna Crozier describes the passage of time in the way that only she can. Her arresting, edgy poems about aging and grief are surprising and invigorating: a defiant balm. At the same time, she revels in the quirkiness and whimsy of the natural world: the vision of a fly, the naming of an eggplant, and a woman who - not unhappily - finds that cockroaches are drawn to her. 'God draws a life. And then rubs it out / with the...

The book unfolds in six movements, yet it revolves around and agonizes over the struggle between these two catalyzing concepts, in all the forms they might take, eventually arguing they are the unavoidable conditions and quandary of human life.

Earth-cool, and Dirty is a timely debut collection by Jacob Lee Bachinger, full of wisdom, and beautiful reflections on the state of humanity. It is a call to pay careful attention to the earth, to nurture it in the same way we attend to the people we love. In “My Son Asleep, Age 4,” he observes: “What no one told me,/what I’ve had to learn for myself:/to love this much is painful."

To get a sense of the significance of Carlo Spinazzola's work, it is important to see it in the context of the full breadth of the artistic undertakings he applied himself to. To see him just as a poet, or as a musician, or as a painter, is to miss the spirit that ran through all his work. He was all of these things and none – his artistic output flowed naturally, taking a number of forms, always in the same spirit. His life and his work spoke the...

You must never ask anyone if they are Real."For exactly as long as history, a secret peace has bound the human and inanimate worlds. But the stories of the other world are pushing into our own,...
