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.
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...
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 Blueness of Light
This collection from celebrated Quebecois writer Louise Dupré presents poetry full of light and hope about a dying loved one.
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.
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.
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.

Anywhere
"In the end, the only theology that matters is the personal one. Heaven is not merely a vision or an aspiration, neither is it just an incomplete metaphor. Heaven is the highest form of irony; what goes unsaid in everything that is loved. Whether it is a beach from a long-lost summer, a snowy field on a winter morning, a child’s blue eyes or the love between two people, one thing is certain: heaven is whatever one makes of it, and it can be anywhere"--Back cover.
