Loving through heartsongs
By Mattie J. T Stepanek. 2003
Looking east over my shoulder
By Jill Jorgenson. 2014
A book that wakes with the dawn and goes on to explore how the day unfolds, in poems populated by…
animals, plants, and people both real and imagined. Drawing on the natural world around her and on an inner arena of love and family, Jorgenson finds voice for the tender and the bitter, the peace and the turmoil, the playful and the wise. Her attention alights on often unlikely subjects: a pinwheel, a basket of overripe lychees, the hollow shaft of a spent lily, a jerryrigged shopping buggy, the sounds that different kinds of sprinklers make, and the moon's reflection in a mug of coffee. 2014.Fabulettes sans notes pour matelots et matelotes

By Claudia Emerson. 2005
A woman explores her disappearance from one life and reappearance in another as she addresses her former husband, herself, and…
her new husband in a series of epistolary poems. Though not satisfied in her first marriage, she laments vanishing from the life she and her husband shared for years.

By Dionne Brand. 1997

and settled over the years, uncomfortable with the land and its people, uncomfortable sometimes with themselves. Winner of the 1997 Governor General's Award for English poetry.Lake of two mountains
By Arleen Paré. 2014
Arleen Paré's second poetry collection is a portrait of a lake, of a relationship to a lake, of a network…
of relationships around a lake. It maps, probes and applauds the riparian region of central Canadian geography that lies between the Ottawa and the St. Lawrence Rivers. The poems portray this territory, its contested human presences and natural history: the 1990 Oka Crisis, Pleistocene shifts and dislocations, the feather-shaped Ile Cadieux, a Trappist monastery on the lake's northern shore. As we are drawn into experience of the lake and its environs, we also enter an intricate interleaving of landscape and memory, a reflection on how a place comes to inhabit us even as we inhabit it. Winner of the 2014 Governor General's Literary Award for poetry. 2014.La poésie à travers les âges (Castor doc. 48)

By Cameron Anstee. 2018
This debut collection from small press editor and publisher Cameron Anstee deploys a number of minimalist strategies--including erasure, found, lyric,…
haiku, one-line, one-word, concrete/visual, cento, restricted vocabularies, and lists--to question how small a poem can be made, and how can a small poem be made expansive? Engaging with contemporary and historical modes of minimalism, "Book of Annotations" is a dialogue in shorthand with work by H.D., Nelson Ball, Lorine Niedecker, Aram Saroyan, Phyllis Webb, Robert Lax, and dozens of others. 2018.Grasping heaven: Tami L.

Hope for the hopeless: the Charles Mulli mission
By Paul H Boge, Marina H Hofman Willard. 2012
Charles Mulli was abused by his father and abandoned by his family. Forced to beg from hut to hut in…
Kenya to survive, Mulli worked his way out of poverty and became a wealthy businessman, but never forgot the struggle of street children. Hearing the call of God, Mulli sold everything he owned and began rescuing street children from the slums of Kenya and gave them a home at Mully Children's Family. His journey of faith challenged him to trust Christ in desperate times, confront evil forces and believe in God for even greater miracles of healing and deliverance. And in the wake of the postelection violence that recently shook Kenya to its core, Mulli risked everything to follow the call of Christ and to bring hope to the hopeless. Sequel to "Father to the Fatherless". 2012.Blue Sonoma
By Jane Munro. 2014
Award-winning poet Jane Munro draws on her well-honed talents to address what Eliot called "the gifts reserved for age." A…
beloved partner's crossing into Alzheimer's is at the heart of this book, and his "battered blue Sonoma" is an evocation of numerous other crossings: between empirical reportage and meditative apprehension, dreaming and wakefulness, Eastern and Western poetic traditions. Rich in both pathos and sharp shards of insight, Munro's wisdom here is deeply embedded, shot through with moments of wit and candour. In the tradition of Taoist poets like Wang Wei and Po-Chu-i, her sixth book opens a wide poetic space, and renders difficult conditions with the lightest of touches. Winner of the 2015 Griffin Poetry Prize. 2014.Killdeer: Essay-poems (Department of critical thought ; #4)

Poems of critical thought that have been influenced by old fiddle tunes, essays that are not out to persuade so…
much as ruminate, invite, accrue. Includes memories of, and homages to Margaret Laurence, Bronwen Wallace, Libby Scheier, and Daniel Jones. Hall writes of the embarrassing process of becoming a poet, and of his push-pull relationship with the concept of home. Winner of the 2011 Governor General’s Literary Award for Poetry. Some descriptions of sex and some strong language. 2011.
