Welcome to Resisterville
Between 1965 and 1975, thousands of American migrants traded their established lives for a new beginning in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia. Some were non-violent resisters who opposed the war in Vietnam. But a larger group was inspired by the ideals of the 1960s counterculture and, hoping to flee the restrictive demands of their parents' world, they set out to build a peaceful, egalitarian society in the Canadian wilderness. Even today, their success is evident, as these impassioned ideals still define community life. Welcome to Resisterville is both a look at an untold chapter in Canadian history and a compelling story of enduring idealism.
Out of Time
Geoff Schmidt's debut collection Out of Time is a meditation on meaning and mortality, and the ways that story and the imagined life can sustain us. In these stories time is running out for the people, yet the power of language, the human ability to tell, to imagine and invent, is a redemptive force.

Duty and Defiance
The Zanchee, an alien race with strong psychic ability, have been monitoring Earth and learn a catastrophic event is about to happen. Axel, son of the alien leader, learns the Zanchee refuse to help because their law prohibits intervention. Now he must choose whether to obey their laws and condemn the planet or defy his father and help humanity. Jeff, a high school senior, seems to be the only one who sees that alien spacecraft fly over the school. His subsequent search for the UFO leads him to Axel, who asks for his help. Jeff's decision puts himself, his sister, and his friends in danger. Together, Jeff and Axel need to fight the odds if they are to save a doomed planet.
Reality Trip
Although Jeff, Daryl, Terry, Glen, and Aaron have different personal lives, they have two traits in common—all are musicians and internet junkies. As members of the band, Centerplex, they also share the same dreams as other bands—to achieve professional success. But when they decide one day to embark on a camping adventure in a wilderness known for its folklore, everything changes. After arriving at the campground situated in the middle of a forest, the men set up their tents, build a fire, down a few beers, and ultimately take a powerful drug that sends them on a journey they never expected. Trapped in the horrors of confusion while under the influence, the wild side seemingly stalks them from the darkness of the forest, clouding their minds with trip-laced fears and leaving them to wonder what is real and what is not as a shocking chain of events begins to unfurl. In this horror tale, a group of musicians enthusiastically set out on a campground adventure, only to discover their experience is not what they anticipated after they take hallucinagenics.

Uncertainty and Plenitude
From the extraordinary diversity of contemporary poetry, Peter Stitt, the distinguished critic and editor of the Gettysburg Review, has chosen in this book to write about five poets only, all premier practitioners—John Ashbery, Stephen Dobyns, Charles Simic, Gerald Stern, and Charles Wright, with a special look at Stanley Kunitz in relation to Wright. Stitt's confident and inventive assessments of these fine poets' work help us gain some focus on the “uncertainty and plenitude” of the current poetry scene, demonstrating that concentrated and knowledgeable criticism can show us ways to begin measuring the accomplishments of our poetic age. Stitt's interest in these five poets is intelle...
