      By Solway, David, 1941-  Mirolla, Michael, 1948-
       2012., Guernica Call No: QWF 811.54 S684h    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Series Title: Essential poets series   Volume: 193Summary Note: Habibi, the love poems of the Moroccan poet Alim Maghrebi, is the latest in a series of David solway's poetic "translations." These are what Solway calls his "ostensibles," poetic voices and artifacts which he regards as constituting an extended trope or metaphor of the desire for transformation. The purpose behind such ventures is not to perpetuate a deception but to create a style and renew a customary diction--and, ultimately, to recreate a self.

      -- Not in vain you have sent me light
      By Siré, Cora
       2021., Guernica Editions Call No: QWF 811.6 S619n   Edition: First edition.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Series Title: Essential poets   Volume: 287.Summary Note: "This collection vaults from the provocative - a deeply personal exposé of two lovers and their collisions and triumphs - into a high-voltage gallery depicting heroes and artists, scientists and politicians, mothers and their conflicted daughters. As the settings shift between the poet's homage to her home city of Montreal ("Sinville") to a near-drowning on a lake by a maximum security prison in New York State ("Cobalt") or calamities in the Andes of northern Argentina ("Argent"), Cora Siré draws on a colourful palette of form, lyric and metaphor to continue her exploration of identity, displacement and the cosmic powers of love and art."--

      By Filip, Raymond
       2019., Guernica Editions Call No: QWF 811.54 F483r   Edition: First edition.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Series Title: Essential poets   Volume: 258.Summary Note: "In Rivers Applaud Forever, Raymond Filip, the craftsman and musician, showcases his spoken-word texts that perform on a silent page, as well as his "say then play" recitals on stage. This collection features free verse and end rhymes; satire and nature studies; a concrete poem and a prose proem; a linked sequence of narratives, and a long bird call to the uncaptured. Filip's peace process comes to terms with his birth and disfigurement in a displaced persons camp after World War II; the unspeakable abuses of growing up with domestic violence and a broken home in the riverside slums of Verdun and Point St. Charles; his clandestine participation in the resistance movement that led to Lithuanian independence; the ups and downs of a mixed marriage to a Filipina; his battle with cancer; the journey of faith and global identity; and the joys of defying his age through his first love: sports. Pick up this book, and this book will pick you up."--
