In the Plague Year
In the Plague Year is a book about living through the Covid-9 pandemic, when a coronavirus and its variants swept around the globe. In a remarkable suite of poems, William New reveals how, from March 2020 to March 2021, people coped with the threat. This is a book about love and death, laughter and loss, the price of isolation, and the cost of staying alive. This pandemic was no minor unease, and this book is no workaday diary: it's a powerful record of people's lives as a new pandemic vocabulary became the idiom of the day. In these poems, people prove to be both dismissive and empathetic; officials react both creatively and slowly; institutions adapt or fail; not everyone survives. Other w...

New & Selected Poems
Between 1996 and 2011, W. H. New became one of our most inspiring and innovative Canadian poets with the publication of ten volumes of poetry over a span of twenty years: Science Lessons (1996); Raucous (1999); Stone/Rain (2001); Riverbook and Ocean (2002); Night Room (2003); Underwood Log (2004), which was short-listed for the Governor General's Award for poetry in 2005; Touching Ecuador (2006); Along A Snake Fence Riding (2007); The Rope-Maker's Tale (2009); and YVR (2011), which received the City of Vancouver Book Award. The titles alone read like a poem, each evocative of a complex relationship and translation of the world into poetry. The variety and intensity of experience in these ten...
A History of Canadian Literature
New offers an unconventionally structured overview of Canadian literature, from Native American mythologies to contemporary texts. Publishers Weekly A History of Canadian Literature looks at the work of writers and the social and cultural contexts that helped shape their preoccupations and direct their choice of literary form. W.H. New explains how - from early records of oral tales to the writing strategies of the early twenty-first century - writer, reader, literature, and society are interrelated. New discusses both Aboriginal and European mythologies, looking at pre-Contact narratives and also at the way Contact experience altered hierarchies of literary value. He then considers represen...
Borderlands
The border between Canada and the United States not only seperates us geographically and politically, but also is an important symbol for defining Canadian nationality. In Borderlands, New poetically and metaphorically considers the image of 'the border' in Canada and how it affects the way Canadians look at themselves and their society.
Encyclopedia of Literature in Canada
'This is a very impressive work of scholarship that will be invaluable to scholars, students and readers. I can't imagine anyone seriously interested in this country's literatures who will not want to own a copy.' - Sam Solecki, University of Toronto
W.H. Auden
This book is not a "survey" or a guide to all or even most of Auden's poetry, though it does follow the general outlines of Auden's development as a poet and thinker."--BOOK JACKET.
New & Selected Poems
"Bill New, in these fabulous poems, becomes the stroller in the city, the busy idler, the flaneur. But he is also and always the seeker, the savant, risking night as well as day. He is seduced by the flawed city he dares to love; he invites the reader to an equal daring." - Robert Kroetsch on YVR "The title of this book hints at both the complexity and the playfulness of New's vision of the world?the wanderer trampling over the globe, finding trees, planting words. By the end of the collection I felt much as the archaeologist feels, in one of these poems, upon uncovering a language-tree, but even more like the farmer in the same poem who may not always know what he is looking at but recognizes that he is looking at something exceptional." - Jack Hodgins on Underwood Log "Musically taut, the poems of Stone | Rain return us not only to coastal elements but to the subtle relations between people and the places they happen in or on. These are poems in the largest sense, tuned to the few quick beats in history any of us inhabit." - Daphne Marlatt on Stone | Rain

Neighbours
"What is a neighbourhood? What holds it together? What tears it apart? A geography, social networks, resources such as parks and schools, gardens and community centres, shops (butcher, baker, coffee shop, hairdresser, barber), church or temple, synagogue or mosque, the houses next door across the lane or over the road, sidewalks, trees, fences and hedges, dogs and cats, bikes and wagons, cars whispering home in the early morning, sunrise or rainfall? And, of course, people and their voices: the friends next door, the characters up the street, dog-walkers, cat-lovers, and those who lean on and talk over the back fence. Builders, sales people knocking on doors, postmen and milkmen, nannies pus...
