Once a Murderer
A gritty, original collection on a subject rarely addressed: the surprising affinities between crime and poetry.
Orchid Heart Elegies
Here we stand between one breath / and death asking to be light. What happens when someone we love dies? Orchid Heart Elegies explores the fragmentation of loss. In luminous poems that echo the Duino Elegies, Zoë Landale – like an edgy, modern-day Rilke – takes the reader to a place of amazement. Enquiring into loneliness and the transformative power of a particular bioregion, Landale’s poems use language infused with the consolations of music to enact transformation. Following in the tradition of thousands of years of lyrical poetry, they gently suggest that we can bear our lives, no matter the pain, by means of a sole moment’s solace. Capturing the torn, jagged moments of grief and transforming them into poems of deep consolation and healing, Orchid Heart Elegies will appeal to any reader who has lost someone dear to them.
Jorrie and the Skyhorse
Running away to an inn at the edge of the world where monsters slide through from other dimensions might not be 16-year-old Jorrie's smartest plan, but she's out of options. To avoid being sent to a military academy for out-of-control teens, Jorrie flees to an inn at the edge of the world owned by relatives she barely knows. When a skeleton is discovered in a near-by pond, long-hidden family secrets start emerging. Jorrie has no magical Talent, is scared of the country and can't understand how she got herself into such a mess. Of course, things can always get worse as she finds out when a dwarrow accuses her of stealing, and she bonds with a wolfhound, triggering a spell that will stop her h...
Einstein's Cat
Whether considering the Skeena River or the foibles of an onscreen diva, Zoë Landale creates vivid and unforgettable poetry. Shot through with bright color and sharp natural imagery, this is not a calm, contemplative collection. Indeed, Landale punctuates her own poetic musings with a director's cut, a counterpoint of sly, often acerbic observations on her own lines. A fascinating and intricate work, Einstein's Cat is a collection that is sure to reward repeat readings.
Burning Stone
In her third book, Zoë Landale explores the darkened rooms of family myth and history. Focusing on family members from the past?matrons, suicides and brilliant eccentrics?she investigates their lives and the shadowy but potent power they exert over the present. Especially powerful is the description of the earlier women of Landale's family?strong yet struggling to find their own voices. Burning Stone enacts a journey into the light, the generation of understanding and forgiveness within the family.
Sigrene?s Bargain with Odin
Bargaining with Odin, the most powerful of the Norse gods, is a bad idea. This unique, epic poem explores little-known Norse mythology and pays special attention to form, sound, and imagery.
Blue in this Country
Zoë Landale's new collection of poetry is remarkable for its fusion of rocky hardness with the luminosity of coastal British Columbia. Landale has the lyric ability to evoke the particular with such warmth and grace that one cannot help becoming aware of a spiritual dimension to her words. This is poetry that sings of love with all its passion, ambiguity and risk.
