In the Silence Absence Makes
This is a poetic mystery, a nightmare, an elegy. A lost girl and the loss of innocence both of the child and the society she is part of. Poems like photographs on the front pages of today's newspaper. Halli Villegas divides her time between Woodville, Ontario and Toronto. This is her second collection of poems.
Red Promises
The tone and form of one's fife is what gives it shape. It is the voice that gives it meaning. In these poems that range from childhood in suburbia to life in the city, Halli Villegas chronicles the experience of the outsider and the observer with a freshness and candour that is unique. These poems will surprise and delight with their passionate and intriguing expressions of sexuality and sensuality.
The Hair Wreath
“A modern twist on urban ghost stories, weaving the idea of dark spiritual encounters with modern lifestyles always getting in the way” (Broken Pencil). Girls and boys disappear; couples caught in the heat and suppressed rage of urban life are haunted by the ghosts of their own making; neighborhoods drift in the murky atmosphere of buried emotions, where the echoes of distrust and dissonance prove something just isn’t right. These strange stories come together, weaving themselves into a wreath of memories, rife with an atmospheric and ominous creep redolent of Shirley Jackson. This eerie collection illustrates the disconnect among people and the places they inhabit, the gap that allows...
Taurus
In the fifth volume of The Witch Upon a Star series, the only astrological romance series written by a witch, we meet Dorothy, our Taurus. Spring has come to the witchy town of Hermana bringing with it thoughts of love, lust, romance and tourists. As the Beltane festivities wind down, Lucy’s coven prepares to cast a love spell for perpetually single Dorothy. Dorothy has been stretching her powers, practicing small tasks to build her magic, and now, on her birthday, Lucy presents her with new tools to explore mystical realms even further. Dorothy is even sent on a secret mission with Natasha to perform a dangerous task as a test of her strength. The coven has set a love spell in motion, but Taurus Dorothy stubbornly has her sights set on her celebrity crush, newly divorced actor Oscar Dominion, who has come to town as part of the production team for her favorite TV show, Scary Haunted Tales. Dorothy is consumed by her lust for Oscar but does he feel the same about her? Can Dorothy beguile Oscar? Will Dorothy run away to Hollywood?
On Order and Things
This is the story of an impossible love between a man and a woman. Confused characters living in a senseless world where love and creativity are irrelevant. This poetic narrative is for all of us.
In Green
Robin Blackburn's poems move through family mythologies, shifts and mysteries. Connections and disintegrations both form and reform the figures depicted. Characters refuse burial. Images of breaking and mending, stories of exile, return and metamorphosis are ruminations on the nature of life, love and living memory in a world of change. Passion is the constant in these visions.
The Blueness of Light
This collection from celebrated Quebecois writer Louise Dupré presents poetry full of light and hope about a dying loved one.
Eleventh Toe
Julie Roorda is a discovery. She is one of the best young poets, of the modern generation, the group of thirty-year-olds, in whose hands we are provided with the gift of beauty and the poetic relevancy of life. We know now, with the publication of Eleventh Toe, her first collection of poems, that Ms. Roorda is in the vanguard of the overall Renaissance in Canadian poetry. Eleventh Toe, is a spiritualist conversation conducted with conscience, with ancestry, and with the spirit of man (and of woman); and which wrestles successfully, with the elemental questions of our contemporary morality, with warmth, with wonder, and with humour. Eleventh Toe poses religious and ordinary social questions that demand honesty through introspection, the kind of honesty that all good poetry must be obliged to encompass. Ms. Roorda is a laudatory, rich addition to our excellence in Canadian poetry. Austin Clarke.
Portraits of Canadian Writers
Margaret Atwood, Leonard Cohen, Ray Robertson, Bronwen Wallace—these are just a few authors whose unforgettable words have made them icons of Canadian literary expression. In Portraits of Canadian Writers, Bruce Meyer presents his own personal experience of these and many more seminal Canadian authors, sharing their portraits alongside amusing anecdotes that reveal personality, creativity, and humour. Meyer’s snapshots, both visual and textual, reveal far more than just physical appearance. He captures tantalizing glimpses into the creative lives of writers, from contextual information of place and time to more intangible details that reveal persona, personality and sources of imaginative inspiration. Through these portraits, Meyer has amassed a visual archive of CanLit that illustrates and celebrates an unparalleled generation of Canadian authorship.
The Role of Lightning in Evolution
The Role of Lightning in Evolution is the fifth book of poetry from Aurora Award winner David Clink, and his first book-length collection of speculative poetry since 2010’s Monster. This is speculative poetry at its best. Found in these pages are award winners and finalists: “A Sea Monster Tells His Story,” “The Perfect Library,” “A City of Buried Rivers,” and “The Machine.” Every poem goes beyond monsters and time travel and post-apocalyptic visions. There is heart here, a love of family (no matter how strange that family may be), ghosts, a seance, shapeshifters, a dragon made of words, an insect caught between dimensions, and a road that can feel your every footfall. Every poem is a journey beyond, a slice of another reality that lets us see our own existence in a different way.
