"Joe Anderson was supposedly on the plane. The sound from the launcher's control box almost startled Olaf as he intently stared at the screen, his face eerily highlighted in green light. A red dot was centered in a bright green circle on the launchers screen as he gently pressed the firing switch. Fire streaked out into the air, a brilliant white star in the fading light, trailing a column of white smoke. The rocket accelerated towards the plane and then ended its short life with a fiery blast. " Joe Anderson must survive the threats of both man and nature in this thrilling sequel to Surviving In America: Under Siege.
Impossible Landscapes includes recent works plus selections from earlier volumes. The book has four sections: Impossible Landscapes; the saga of the semi-mythical Guerrero; Other Landscapes; and Border Crossings, which voyages widely in time and space. A living descendent of the Imagists, Steele avoids decoration and abstraction. The landscapes are as much mental as physical, and always there is someone or something missing in them.

Noted for its musicality and its ample, expansive lyricism, Acadian poet Serge Patrice Thibodeau's poetry reveals a new dimension in this collection. These lines of poetry are murmured, practically whispered, the stanza making use of the ellipsis. The angry, melancholic, and tormented tone seen in the poet's previous work gives way to the desire to convey poetry freed from revolt, sadness, and indignation. What results is a mitigated tension that strives for joy and is serene rather than impassioned, one emanating from rest: rest of the body, the mind, the soul, and especially of the heart. Let Rest is a translation of Que repose (Perce-Neige, 2004), Thibodeau's eleventh book of poetry. In praise of his award-winning book Le Quatuor de l'errance, the Canada Council for the Arts wrote: "In pure, beautiful language that is rich in imagery and words, Serge Patrice Thibodeau has penned an inspired song that marks him as one of the important poets of our time."
