Paperback. Zustand: New. A visually and lyrically beautiful debut that celebrates the landscapes we take for granted. Harbour Grids is a long poem in four parts that investigates ideas of community and belonging. Beginning as a meditation on the surface of New York Harbor, the poem radiates outward through issues of labour, loca…tion, history, belonging, and subjectivity. How do we experience our complex relations to the world we live in? Harbour Grids seeks to answer this question by combining Stephen Ratcliffe's attention to daily observation and formal repetition, Lyn Hejinian's investigations of the linguistic structures, Larry Eigner's textural sense of language and compositional space of the page, and Juliana Spahr's ethical attention to the ways we inhabit the world.

Paperback. Zustand: New. A collection that careens from Ancient Greece to the Klondike Gold Rush, for readers of A. S. Byatt and Margaret Atwood."It is the part that is missing that I am drawn to, that I try to pin down. My gaze is always divided by what is here and what is no longer here. That, for me, is where the deepest plea…sure lies, where the sweet overcomes the bitter."A couple coping with a recent loss are tasked with taking stock of a late biology enthusiast's hoard. A support worker dedicated to rehabilitating young women suffering from, among other things, a certain unexpected effect of the climate apocalypse faces a truth that shatters the illusion separating her work and her personal life. An archaeologist formerly working in Syria struggles with her decision to flee from unrest, while the people she has left behind face an uncertain fate.In Jennifer Falkner's richly imagined first collection, past and present glancingly converge, making the familiar outlines of myth, history, and everyday life seem suddenly strange. With spare, elegant prose, Falkner introduces the reader to those whose narratives are written in the language of empty space. Above Discovery is a stunning debut collection from an author to watch.

Paperback. Zustand: New. "Poetry find of the year, easily."-John Doyle, The Globe and MailRotten Perfect Mouth is a wonderfully fresh first book by a writer with an intuitive ear for colourful, musical language. These poems are loose enough for the reader to flop down inside and stay awhile. They are plangent, personal, confessi…onal, noisy, nostalgic, and maybe a little bit broken. They often contain boats and travel and Toronto (street names and railroad tracks, dives and parks and kitchens) because those are the sorts of things Eva H.D. is drawn to. In Rotten Perfect Mouth, readers will discover a writer with her heart on her sleeve and her hand on her pen, capturing the world around her with vibrant immediacy.

Paperback. Zustand: New. WINNER OF THE 2023 RELIT AWARD FOR SHORT FICTIONSHORTLISTED FOR THE 2023 INDIGENOUS VOICES AWARDSLONGLISTED FOR THE 2023 CAROL SHIELDS PRIZEFor fans of Chuck Palahniuk, Joyce Carol Oates, and Karen Russell, the stories in Francine Cunningham's debut collection God Isn't Here Today ricochet between form a…nd genre, taking readers on a dark, irreverent, yet poignant journey led by a unique and powerful new voice.Driven by desperation into moments of transformation, Cunningham's characters are presented with moments of choice-some for the better and some for the worse. A young man goes to God's office downtown for advice; a woman discovers she is the last human on Earth; an ice cream vendor is driven insane by his truck's song; an ageing stripper uses undergarments to enact her escape plan; an incubus tires of his professional grind; and a young woman inherits a power that has survived genocide, but comes with a burden of its own.Even as they flirt with the fantastic, Cunningham's stories unfold with the innate elegance of a spring fern, reminding us of the inherent dualities in human nature-and that redemption can arise where we least expect it.

Paperback. Zustand: New. A guide to the music and multifaceted career of Canadian artists and songwriters Tegan and Sara.Through interviews with Tegan and Sara, their collaborators, journalists, and fans, this book explores the multifaceted career of one of music's most celebrated sister duos, from their start as Neil Young's pr…otégés to Canadian indie-rock purveyors and, making their riskiest transformation yet, into mainstream pop breakouts.Coming up as grunge-loving musicians in the late '90s and early 2000s, Tegan and Sara found themselves awkwardly pushed into categories that didn't quite fit: a novelty twin sister folk act when they wanted to be taken seriously; pop when they wanted to be indie rock; and sellouts when they finally made their bid for mainstream success. As young, queer musicians who didn't see anyone else like themselves growing up (in a time where Internet access hadn't yet formed global spaces and communities for LGBTQ+ people), Tegan and Sara's path to pop stardom was filled with familiar hurdles, but no clear instructions on how to navigate things like homophobic press, niche queer audiences that wanted to claim them, or sexism at every turn.It's a journey with ups and downs, but Tegan and Sara's perseverance-alongside a music industry and journalism world that's had to learn to confront its own biases-has helped create a musical world today that more readily accepts and embraces queer voices. Featuring continuous sonic transformations, Tegan and Sara's story is essential to Canadian music history.

Paperback. Zustand: New. "Andrew Forbes's exquisitely rendered prose makes The Diapause both realistic and futuristic, devastating even while it is oddly hopeful. Vast and intimate, the novel absorbs and grips. I cannot shake its central image: the strange little noodles, the mysterious worms who seem to be dancing in the moment…s before catastrophe."-Liz Harmer, author of Strange LoopsWhen ten-year-old Gabriel and his parents retire to his late grandfather's disused cabin to wait out a pandemic, the big, dangerous world seems very far away, and Gabriel enjoys the freest summer of his young life. But tensions begin to surface, testing the family unit, and resulting in consequences that he will spend his life attempting to unravel.Spanning nearly a half-century, The Diapause is a literary-speculative-fiction novel about the near future, family, isolation, heartbreak, climate change, how we keep each other safe, and all the things we don't know about the people we know best. Part White Fang, part Station Eleven, The Diapause is a novel about how the things we seek are often the things we didn't know we'd lost.

Winner of the John Glassco Translation Prize from the Literary Translators Association of Canadathe lantern light seems to have written a poem;they feel lonesome since i won't read them.-"lantern" by Fei MingThe work of Tang Dynasty Classical Chinese poets such as Li Bai, Du Fu, and Wang Wei has long bee…n celebrated in both China and internationally, and various English translations and mistranslations of their work played a pivotal yet often unacknowledged role in shaping the emergence and evolution of modern Anglophone poetry.In The Lantern and the Night Moths, Chinese diaspora poet-translator Yilin Wang has selected and translated poems by five of China's most innovative modern and contemporary poets: Qiu Jin, Fei Ming, Dai Wangshu, Zhang Qiaohui, and Xiao Xi. Expanding on and subverting the long lineage of Classical Chinese poetry that precedes them, their work can be read collectively as a series of ars poeticas for modern Sinophone poetry.Wang's translations are featured alongside the original Chinese texts, and accompanied by Wang's personal essays reflecting on the art, craft, and labour of poetry translation. Together, these poems and essays chart the development of a myriad of modernist poetry traditions in China that parallel, diverge from, and sometimes intersect with their Anglophone and Western counterparts.

Paperback. Zustand: New. A grossly inaccurate "memoir" about Canadian folk legends.Henry Adam Svec has been pushing boundaries in Canadian folklore since he unearthed songs by CFL players in Library and Archives Canada, thereby thrusting himself into the scene-and the media spotlight. Those spartan poems are finally included in…this anthology, in addition to the fruits of his subsequent expeditions, but there is much more besides, including honest accounts of the folklorist's myriad trials and tribulations. This experimental and genre-defying book mixes the adventurous energies of Alan Lomax and Stompin' Tom, the intertextual conceptualism of Vladimir Nabokov and Mark Z. Danielewski, and the searing intensity of Elizabeth Smart and Chris Kraus."Comically entertaining, presented with 'performative verve', as novelist Jacob Wren puts it."-Atlantic Books Today"This book is cracking me up-and I don't even like football-but it is just so well written."-Robert Dayton, author of The Canadian Romantic.

Paperback. Zustand: New. "Opening Diving Board is like waking in a white room with no doors or windows. A question resonates as one reads these stories: How did Tomás Downey place me here so perfectly, and why is it that I don't want to leave?"-Agustina Bazterrica, author of Tender is the Flesh and The UnworthyTomás Downey write…s from the edge of the abyss. A little girl disappears midair; a horse grows from a seed; a war widow receives a visit of condolence, over and over and over again. In "The Astronaut" a man has become weightless, bobbing around on the ceiling, nauseated every time he is brought down and tethered to the earth. But the question here is not "how" or "why," it's "what happens next?" The astronaut wonders "Will I burn like an asteroid or drown in the void of space?" just as all of Downey's stories reside in that threatening, destabilizing moment when all connection is lost. The world is filled with an ever-thickening mist, an old love haunts the living, making fruit rot in the bowl, and resolution isn't offered or even sought-the human condition is queasy, fretful, absurd. All we can hope for is the leap into the unknown.

Paperback. Zustand: New. "Country Music is both delicate and ferocious, tender and steely. [.] Spackled with violence, hilarity, grotesquerie, these poems are animated by Koss's profound listening and attentiveness and a kind of wild longing. These are poems as if exchanged among friends and family, as if generated around an arc…haic campfire, as if John Prine had spent his youth in the Kootenays, as if poetry were still a medium of common life: and suddenly we see with this book that it is."-Maureen McLane, author of My PoetsZane Koss grew up listening to stories. Often these were told late at night around kitchen tables or campfires against the backdrop of rural British Columbia. The stories themselves, punctuated by the humour and violence of life in the mountains, offer a means of critiquing "extractiveness"-both the violence of settler-colonial capitalism and the systems of class privilege that devalue rural, working-class experience. Mining these materials for a rural poetics-a country music-Koss begins to understand both his working-class upbringing and academic surroundings. Country Music is a book that wants to find a way forward through the imperfect inheritance we're given. Shifting between the poetic inquiries of Lisa Robertson and the vernacular improvisations of Fred Wah, the book offers an investigation of identity, family, and place.

Prompted by receiving the Olivetti Lettera 30 typewriter that belo…nged to poet William Hawkins after his death in 2016, the works in this book explore how small poems operate through the freedoms and constraints of the typewriter as both a decaying machine and a mode of composition. Through engagement with writers and artists like Jiri Valoch, Barbara Caruso, Leroy Gorman, Cia Rinne, William Hawkins, Dani Spinosa, Kate Siklosi, and Norman McLaren, Sheets: Typewriter Works re-embeds the minimalist poem in the typewritten page.

Paperback. Zustand: New. We don't choose the stories we inherit, but we can stitch new futures from the threads of our past .Selvage is a work of salvaging and selving, of salvaging a self from disparate elements. Fragments from the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the language of trees talking to one another through myc…elial networks, familial stories, and ruminations on the cusp of motherhood are literally and lyrically torn apart, spun, and sewn together to create a collage of what it means to be human, which is to say, what it means to be incomplete and fragmented. Mashing up the traditional lyric with innovative form and visual poetry, this experimental work is deeply personal, but it also attempts to gesture towards the human experience by showing the unfinished seams of our existence: the messy ends, beautiful twists, and unexpected new beginnings sewn together with intertwined threads of intergenerational trauma and love.

Here Virginia Woolf, Orlando, and companions attend salons hosted by Clark Coolidge and Renee Gladman, while Lorine Niedecker scolds Charle…s Olson in class.

Immersed in a life of reading, and spying through the keyholes of fantasy, ;Cut Side Down melds lyric and conceptual experiment in a delightful banquet of autobiography, desire, invention, landscape and memory.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Featured on 49th Shelf's Most Anticipated: 2023 Fall Fiction Preview"Things used to be easier, but even in those carefree days, the rules were in place for a reason. And that reason is: so we can all agree. So we can all have the same standard applied across the board. So there is no special treatment, w…hich no one should receive. This is why we need the rules."The stories in Avalanche combine humor with an earnest examination and indictment of white entitlement, guilt, shame, and disorientation in the wake of waking up to the reality of racism. Focusing on the perspective of white, cis, straight, and mostly middle-aged and middle-class characters, this collection shines a light on the obliviousness of white privilege, the violence of polite, quiet racism hiding just under the surface of mundane, everyday situations, and the anguished flailing of "well-intentioned white ladies" desperate to confirm their essential goodness at all costs. Westhead writes with compassion and empathy for both her frustrating and frustrated white protagonists and the racialized characters who encounter them, and uses humour not to comfortably distance white readers from the harmful behaviour of her self-absorbed protagonists, but to pull them in close to recognize-and reckon with-those familiar parts of themselves, and to become more aware of the insidious systems of white supremacy at work behind the scenes.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Widowhood and weirdos, online and off, NORMA is so dark it smarts.It's a terrible freedom to linger unaccounted for.Norma is waking up and cracking up. Decades of marriage, housekeeping, and family responsibility: buried with her husband Hank. Now, she's free, gorging on an online riot of canceled soap o…peras, message boards, and grocery store focus groups. Transcribing chatter for fifty cents a minute. It's all of humanity-grim, funny, and desperate-wafting into her world, a world reeking with the funk of old fast food wrappers, cold stale recycled air, and desiccated car upholstery. And one where appropriate boundaries are suddenly slipping too, when a voice from one of her transcripts goes from virtual to IRL and just down the block.NORMA is a tart, unhinged flail into widowhood, the parasocial, and some of the more careworn corners of the internet.
