  • Leave-Taking

    by Marilyn Potter ...
    Leave-Taking moves through stages of grief — the reckoning, the remembering, the rituals — after the sudden death of a spouse. The poems trace reflections on a long marriage, and what it is like to be left behind. The poems travel from Haida Gwaii on the west coast of Canada, across the mountains and into the prairie city of Winnipeg, to the beaches of Cape Cod; however, they stop often to rest in ...

    by Carolyn Smart ...
    Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow are the stuff of legend -- why tell their story again?

  • The Wrong Cat

    by Lorna Crozier ...
    Like the people and animals in her new collection, Lorna Crozier “defies / the anecdotal, / goes for the lyric, / music made from / bone and muscle and the grace notes” of life. The poems in The Wrong Cat are vintage Crozier: sly, sexy, irreverent, and sad, and populated by fully realized characters whose stories take place in a small lyrical space. We learn about a mother’s last breath, the first ... Read more

  • Unnecessary Poetry

    poetry so unnecessary, #1

    by Kimberly ...
    Series Book 1 - poetry so unnecessary
    As a child my favourite play time was to imagine. My imagination took me places no one else knew about, places that were fairy tales and places I actually created. Unless I was just imaging this, but were always places of fun. As a woman at 45 I still thrive on my imagination to work the same way. As a writer I try and share with my reader what it is I have to offer, not what I have to sell. ... Read more

    by Angeline Schellenberg ...

  • Failure to Thrive

    by Suzannah Showler ...
    Poetry of ambivalence, humour, and doubt that belies a kind of optimismDumpster fires outside discount stores and rotting whale carcasses; optical illusions and memento mori—all “coming to you direct, / by way of this Rube Goldberg machine.” Failure to Thrive zigzags through excess, taking in the big picture through the lens of a pinhole camera. These poems ask us to lean into our senses, to ... Read more
