The Afterlife of Trees
Brian Bartlett's poems, both pithy and expansive, bridge nature and human society, humour and elegy. Ranging from Buster Keaton films to a miniature Taj Mahal, from a celebration of sloths to an ironic look at the new millennium, from an urban garden to a ferry at sea, these poems tell stories and sing, question and praise.
Don McKay
Analyzing 30 years of Don McKay's achievements, this critique explores one of the most original bodies of work in contemporary English-language poetry. Emphasizing details of ornithology, botany, weather, industry, and the arts, as well as focusing on varied geographic settings, his poetry opens countless doors for analysis. Fourteen contributors examine the complex contradictions of McKay's work, including nuanced description and intricate metaphor, philosophical phrasing and folksy idiom, madcap humor and elegy.
When I Always Wanted Something
When I Always Wanted Something is a collection of stories about our inability to see what is right in front of us or deep within us, yet how, despite these blind spots, we try again and again to connect with each other. In these stories, about a woman who has a strange bond with the Rosenbergs, an old man in a hospital who shares his secrets with a visitor, a woman whose husband dies brutally, a teenage boy lonely for his father, the yearning is endless. But so are the glimmers of unexpected joy.
In Cannon Cave
Like their namesake, the poems of In Cannon Cave are acoustic chambers, gourds in which experience resonates. Here is a voice singing to existence, longingly, caressingly, not to typify or capture it, but to give it dwell, the audible afterlife of language. These poems venture far beyond the comforts of romanticism to find a new compassion. When night comes, something speaks from that soft, fragrant wilderness. It says, the heart is not a door. But it opens. We feel in the dark for the hinge. The body, our great ally, knows what it's here for. from Five Doors Carole Glasser Langille does an extraordinary job of connecting the world outside her to the world inside her. -- Robert Coles Here is a book of adult pleasures, ocean and sunlight: the fond ache of children: eros regained. And beneath it all a stillness that is palpable, articulate. In her second book, Carole Glasser Langille speaks the ?language of praise in the dark.? We are all the richer for it. -- Dennis Lee NOMINATED for the 1997 Governor General's Award for Poetry
Church of the Exquisite Panic
Church of the Exquisite Panic: The Ophelia Poems is a study of how "song by song down the long corridor" we feel our way through this life. The book's point of view shifts through several sections, building narrative; and at the center of the narrative lies an old question: how do we each find our voice? "Journey / is a type of singing.../ The great lie is this: that voyage means / going. Each time I venture out, / I am always led inward, hurtling..."

How Higher Education Feels
Teaching and learning in higher education can evoke strong feelings, including confusion, anxiety, boredom, curiosity, surprise and exhilaration. These emotions affect students’ learning, progress and overall success. Teachers’ emotions affect how they teach and their relationships and communication with students. Yet the emotional dimensions of teachers’ and students’ experiences are rarely discussed in the context of improving higher education. This book addresses that gap, offering short, evocative case studies to spark conversation among university teachers. It challenges readers to reflect on how higher education feels, to explore the emotional landscape of courses and programme...
