Published on the one hundredth anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic (which occurred on the night of April 15,…
1912), Impact is an intimate and evocative poetry collection that depicts the tragedy in a series of poetic snapshots. Based on historical research the author conducted in Belfast (where the ship was constructed) and his birthplace of Halifax (near where it sank), the poems document not only the history behind the ship's construction, but what life must have been like for those aboard her maiden voyage and in the years following her sinking. While many readers are familiar with the various myths surrounding the ship and its sinking, this book offers a new, startlingly sensitive perspective with poems that take readers inside the hearts and minds of its passengers.Billeh Nickerson is the author of McPoems and the co-editor of Seminal: The Anthology of Canada's Gay Male Poets.By Oliver Wendell Holmes.

sublime, subtle, and crystalline, the poems in her brilliant new collection, published posthumously, showcase Avison at her best, and constitute the final chapter in an extraordinary artistic legacy that spanned more than forty years.From the Trade Paperback edition.By Richard Zimler. 2007
These aphoristic gleanings of ancient and mystical philosophy- written in the form of haiku by award-winning novelist Richard Zimler- capture…
the heart of the tradition in ways that are personally awakening. Love's Voice is a doorway to Kabbalah for readers at all levels of experience. Acclaimed novelist Richard Zimler uses the form of haiku to distill Kabbalistic philosophy into its most essential form, providing a rare and deeply affecting experience of the wisdom of the ages. These seventy-two haiku require no special knowledge of Kabbalah or, indeed, of Jewish culture. Readers who do have some background in Kabbalah will find additional-and sometimes hidden-references and meanings in many of these verses. Every passage in Love's Voice verse is a memorable meditation that will touch each reader in a different way. Here is a greatly original yet historically framed entry point to an extraordinary mystical tradition. .By Rudyard Kipling.

By Catherine Chandler. 2014
The second full-length collection from sonneteer and formalist poet Catherine Chandler, Glad and Sorry Seasons brings together new suites of…
poems-on grief, recovery, the deadly sins, and the virtues of faith, hope, and love-to meditate on those polarities of light and dark, joy and sorrow, that illuminate and cloud our lives by turn. With subjects ranging from Alzheimer's to Edward Hopper's Automat, in handsomely crafted stanzas and metres, and including translations from Québecois and Latin American poets, Glad and Sorry Seasons is a stunning and learned offering from a poet unmistakably committed to form.WaitingFor the man in the Intensive Care Unit waiting room,Hôpital Notre-Dame, Montréal, June 2012Some nights I've seena slice of silver slink across this roomI now call home,above my makeshift bed-a rickety chairbeside the snack machine.Close by, the elevators whirr and beep.I cannot, dare not, drift asleep,let down my guard,inviting shoulder taps, a whispered Sir,or dreams of heronce-vivid eyes that stare & stare & stare,dull, distant, hard.Thus I will will her through another day.Make crazy compromises. Pray.By Amy Lowell.
