Les poèmes ne me font pas peur est le récit atypique d'une adolescente mordue de poésie. Accessible et captivant, il…
brise d'un coup les idées préconçues que les adolescents peuvent se faire du genre poétique. Écrit dans une langue belle et imagée, ce récit fulgurant n'a rien de rébarbatif. Pour les lecteurs d’école secondaire. 2015.By Ted Hughes. 1970
With the publication of "Lupercal", Ted Hughes fully realised the promise of "The hawk in the rain". It was clear…
after two books, that he was a major poet - technically agile and capable of annexing whole areas of subject matter. "Lupercal" contains some of Hughes' most brilliant animal poetry. Senior High. 1970.By Hélène Monette. 2004

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.By Anne Sylvestre. 2000

La poésie et le poète, comme la publication même de ce recueil, sont à la fois québécois et créoles, natif…
et métisse, un mélange de soleil et de neige, une collaboration entre le Québec et la Louisiane. Richard deBessonnet, enfant d'un père québécois et d'une mère louisianaise, est chez lui au Québec, mais il arrive aussi vers la fin de ce recueil à fouiller un peu dans ses tiroirs matriarcaux. 1987.By Barry Dempster. 2017
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. She then describes the unexpected joys of solitude during her recovery and emotional convalescence. Finally, in a sequence of sonnets, she speaks to her new husband, whose first wife died from lung cancer. Pulitzer Prize winner for poetry, 2005.By Dionne Brand. 1997
Brand writes about Canada as it is seen by an outsider and about the outsiders who have come here over…
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.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.By Magali Wiéner. 2002

Histoires en vers et en prose. Par le plus populaire transfuge du surréalisme, tendre et gouailleur, qui met la fantaisie,…
les énumérations les plus imprévues et une conscience sociale toujours en éveil au service de la poésie d'humour et de fraternité. 1984.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.
