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)

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?

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)

By Roxane Orgill. 2017

crazy idea: how about gathering a group of beloved jazz musicians and photographing them? He didn't own a good camera, didn't know if any musicians would show up, and insisted on setting up the shoot in front of a Harlem brownstone. Could he pull it off? In these poems, Roxane Orgill steps into the frame of Harlem 1958, bringing to life the musicians' mischief and quirks, their memorable style, and the vivacious atmosphere of a Harlem block full of kids on a hot summer's day.
