  • Rags of Night in Our Mouths

    by Margo Wheaton ...
    Series series The Hugh MacLennan Poetry Series
    Silence in the belly of the breathing house. Night so deep / it’s reaching through rooms as if searching its pockets.Standing in the midst of her childhood home, Margo Wheaton was struck by two things: the extent of the damage caused by her father’s and stepmother’s alcoholism and the life force that pulsed in the once-vibrant rooms and yard – in the abandoned trees, neglected flowerbeds, and ...

  • The Unlit Path Behind the House

    by Margo Wheaton ...
    Series series The Hugh MacLennan Poetry Series
    The day’s an old room / stripped of its furniture; there are / never enough beds in winter. / By late afternoon, the shadows / are forming a blue inconsolable hall // as sparrows retreat to makeshift / cots of pine bark and eaves. // Even the parched marsh grass / has stilled, every blade / become an ear.Sensuous, atmospheric, and spare, The Unlit Path Behind the House collects poems that seek ...

  • A Really Good Brown Girl

    by Marilyn Dumont ...
    Marilyn Dumont's Metis heritage offers her challenges that few of us welcome. Here she turns them to opportunities: in a voice that is fierce, direct, and true, she explores and transcends the multiple boundaries imposed by society on the self. She mocks, with exasperation and sly humour, the banal exploitation of Indianness, more-Indian-than-thou oneupmanship, and white condescension and ... Read more

  • Careen

    by Carolyn Smart ...
    Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow are the stuff of legend -- why tell their story again? Chances are you don’t know the nuances -- their love story and that of their accomplices Buck Barrow and his wife Blanche; their aspirations, conflicts and prayerful natures; and ultimately the sources of their tragedy. At its core, Careen is a long poem spoken by the characters, though the voices are companioned ... Read more

  • Ballads of a Bohemian

    by Robert William Service ...
    All day the sun has shone into my little attic, a bitter sunshine that brightened yet did not warm. And so as I toiled and toiled doggedly enough, many were the looks I cast at the three faggots I had saved to cook my evening meal. Now, however, my supper is over, my pipe alight, and as I stretch my legs before the embers I have at last a glow of comfort, a glimpse of peace. ... Read more

    by F.R. Scott, George Elliott Clarke ...
    Series series Laurier Poetry
    Leaving the Shade of the Middle Ground contains thirty-five of F.R. Scott’s poems from across the five decades of his career. Scott’s artistic responses to a litany of social problems, as well as his emphasis on nature and landscapes, remain remarkably relevant. Scott weighed in on many issues important to Canadians today, using different terms, perhaps, but with no less urgency than we feel now: ... Read more

  • Blindfold

    by John Asfour ...
    Series series The Hugh MacLennan Poetry Series

In a series of thematically linked poems, Asfour draws the metaphor of the ... Read more

  • Around the Red Land

    by Larry Small ...
    These poems span the gamut of life from love to death; a eulogy for a people, who for the most part, are no longer with us. Their evolution in rural Newfoundland has taken hundreds of years and there is a good possibility that we will never see their likes again. Full of knowledge, self-sufficiency, independence, pride and dignity, most of them, I think, would be deeply insulted by some of our ... Read more
