2018., Véhicule Press Call No: QWF 819.13 N439h Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "The Hardness of Matter and Water fulfills a poetic odyssey Québécois poet Pierre Nepveu began over four decades ago. Through a sequence of four prose poems, his anonymous protagonist walks from the heart of present-day Montreal into its southwestern margins, where the metropolis began centuries ago and which now "lays out its memories on the young grass." Questioning his sense of belonging, social unease and mortality as he walks, and following "a shadowy voice that neither sings nor speaks," Nepveu transports readers across wide spans of history, geography, metaphysics and speculation. A 2016 finalist for the Governor General's Literary Award for Poetry in French, rendered in English by award-winning translator Donald Winkler, The Hardness of Matter and Water is poetry at its meditative, insightful best. Pierre Nepveu is one of Canada's most celebrated writers. A five-time winner of the Governor General's Literary Awards in poetry, fiction, and nonfiction, Nepveu became a member of the Order of Canada in 2012."--

2018., BookThug Call No: QWF 841.54 D249y Edition: First English edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Carole David's The Year of My Disappearance is a searing, surreal, darkly comic descent into a woman's psyche: as pitiless an assault on her own torments and pretences as it is on those figures lodged in her memory: lovers, strangers, her own mother, Bosch-like apparitions out of her dreams and imaginings. Through it all, a fierce combat is being waged between immolation and survival, wherein, as she has written, "I gave free range to the lives that dwelt within me." Nothing and no one is spared in this book, and yet it is wonderfully invigorating.
