Paperback. Zustand: New. Tender in the Age of Fury is the second collection of poems by Seattle-based Canadian poet Brandon Pitts. In his new collection, Pitts extends the themes of his initial offering Pressure to Sing (IOWI, 2010), and gives the reader a clearer understanding of the interconnected personal, theological and pol…itical themes of his work, uggesting a literary and cultural "key" to its full appreciation. Pitts returns the reader to the Hebrew/Christian/Islamic story of angels and men (and women) that is at the root of the modern consciousness, offering an immanent critique of its latest manifestations"" (Terry Barker, from the Introduction).

Paperback. Zustand: New. From the literary giant of Japan, who is often referred to as the "Godfather of the Japanese short story," and after whom the most coveted literary prize of Japan is named, the Akutagawa Prize, comes this collection of three of his greatest short stories.Akutagawa is probably best known for his story "Ra…sho¯mon" which was adapted for the screen by legendary filmmaker Akira Kurosawa. While he died at the young age of 35, the author penned well over 150 short stories, including "Cogwheels" which he wrote just before his suicide in 1927. Accompanied by stunning woodcuts by renowned artists Naoko Matsubara, and expertly translated by Howard Norman, the three stories compiled here reflect the haunting, precise and brilliant style of Akutagawa and offer a superb entry point to his work. Haruki Murakami aptly described Akutagawa's writing when he remarked, "the flow of his language is the best feature of Akutagawa's style. Never stagnant, it moves along like a living thing. His choice of words is intuitive, natural-and beautiful.".

Paperback. Zustand: New. The award-winning poet Marty Gervais looks no further than life as it unfolds around him. He sees poetry as "the history of the human heart," and it is there that he discovers the substance for these new poems where the writer wrestles with the universal questions age, illness, and even death but not wit…hout showing the reader the tremendous power devotion plays in the conduct of one's life. This eclectic mix of poems are about boxers and singers, monks and priests in the Andes, and about a brother finding a 'cure' for blindness. Other poems speak about what people know, or see, or where they have been, or what they think. The beauty of Gervais' voice resides in his ability to hear what others have said and to give thanks for the love that being with others has brought him.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Set in the late 1920s and 1930s, this is the story of teenage French-Canadian farm girls from Stoney Point and Pain Court and Grande Pointe packing up and moving to the city, to find work in Windsor or Detroit as house keepers and nannies for well-to-do families. Marie Anne Mineau was one of those innoce…nt young women whose life on the farm and the village is dominated by religion, and all its expectations and superstitions. She speaks of ghosts in the fields and haunting the farmhouse, of weddings and lavish picnics in a black Walnut grove back the barn, of collecting eggs and doing chores, of a sister running off to be married, and Marie Anne's own wedding, at barely 19 years old, and driving through the night to Niagara Falls with a man she hardly knew. The poems, written by Windsor's Marty Gervais, are cast in the voice of his own mother who shared all these stories of him. It is a picture of a time and place now lost to history, but it was one that vividly captures the story of hundreds of young women who left rural Canada for good paying jobs away in the city.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Getting 3 batters out in order on nine pitches is one of the most remarkable feats in baseball. Since the late 1800s, only 71 pitchers have been able to do it. Yet, unlike other rare achievements in baseball, such as pitching a perfect game, the "immaculate inning" does not capture the same attention or…consideration. In a game that is as unpredictable as baseball, perfection, when it occurs, should be cause for both reflection and celebration. In Immaculate, Cairney provides a short history of perfect innings through the stories of the pitchers who pitched them. Beginning with an brief overview of the numbers, the remaining chapters, one for each immaculate inning on record in major baseball, provides insight into the men, their careers and details of the inning itself, from the first recorded perfect inning in 1889 to the most recent string of innings last MLB season in 2014. The names include pitching greats such as Jim Bunning, Sandy Koufax, Nolan Ryan and Randy Johnson, but also many lesser known, if not colorful, pitchers like "Sloppy" Thurston and Bill Wilson. The teams include famous franchises like the Detroit Tigers and the New York Yankees, but also clubs now defunct like the Boston Beaneaters and the Montreal Expos. Using immaculate innings as benchmarks, the book provides an engaging and entertaining journey through the history of professional baseball that will delight both the serious student of the game, as well as the fan who enjoys reading about the game.

Paperback. Zustand: New. "Courageous.bold.disturbing.a timely and important new addition of original poems to the reputation of an established poetic voice." Josie Di Sciascio-Andrews characterizes her new book of poems as follows, "Metaphorically carcinogenic, viral corruption threatens the world in an era of surveillance, mono…polizing oligarchies and moral decay. From an unexpected diagnosis, to the loss of a precious mother, to greed endangering our ecosystem, Metastasis guides us poetically through a dark, heartless underworld of invisible machinations. Like Virgil leading Dante through the circles of Hell, it shines a light upon the rot of both the physical and spiritual disease spreading endemic aided by artificial intelligence's net trap. As above, so below, there is a weird energy tearing everything asunder. Through the revelatory power of writing, philosophical ponderings and snippets of scientific data, this book illuminates us with emergent concepts never before tackled in a poetry collection, not in Canada and nowhere else.".
