2017., DC Books Call No: QWF 811.6 V772e Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "John Emil Vincent's previous books are critical. His first book, Queer Lyrics, was chosen as a CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title. Kevin Kopelson of The University of Iowa has the following to say about the book: 'Poetry lovers should be writing love poems to John Emil Vincent and not just queer ones. For he has done something very difficult and completely necessary: performed both formalist and thematic analyses of deliberately 'difficult' modern poetry with a view to considering connections between sexual identity and poetic closure. Even readers with an aversion to such poetry will find themselves taken gently by the hand and led through this forbidding terrain by an unusually considerate yet formidably erudite critic. Let's hope this isn't Vincent's final word on the subject.' Excitement Tax is Vincent's first book of poetry."--$cProvided by publisher.

2021., Shoreline Call No: QWF 811.6 D815m Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: Jocelyne Dubois’ latest book of poetry, Memorial Suite, is a beautiful, haunting work, written in a style uniquely her own. In some ways, it can be seen as a complement to her novel World of Glass, which followed the struggle of a young woman with bipolar disorder as she sought to extricate herself from a world of alienation, pain, terror, medication and mental health facilities, and return to the joys of normal life, tranquility and love. While the novel deals with the structure of this long and difficult path, however, the poems zero in on particular moments, people, moods, and sensations from a more intimate and immediate point of view.

2013., University of Toronton Press Call No: QWF 811.509 D456m Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: The Metaphor of Celebrity is an exploration of the significance of literary celebrity in Canadian poetry. It focuses on the lives and writing of four widely recognized authors who wrote about stardom Leonard Cohen, Michael Ondaatje, Irving Layton, and Gwendolyn MacEwen and the specific moments in Canadian history that affected the ways in which they were received by the broader public.Joel Deshaye elucidates the relationship between literary celebrity and metaphor in the identity crises of celebrities, who must try to balance their public and private selves in the face of considerable publicity. He also examines the ways in which celebrity in Canadian poetry developed in a unique way in light of the significant cultural events of the decades between 1950 and 1980, including the Massey Commission, the flourishing of Canadian publishing, and the considerable interest in poetry in the 1960s and 1970s, which was followed by a rapid fall from public grace, as poetry was overwhelmed by greater popular interest in Canadian novels.

2008., Juvenile, KCP Poetry Call No: GN 811.4 D553m Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Series Title: Visions in poetry.Summary Note: This graphic novel is brilliantly illustrated by Isabelle Arsenault. The artist's interpretation displays a rich understanding of Dickinson's poetry, which is known for its economy, unexpected imagery and hauntingly personal point of view. Arsenault has created a subtle meditation on Dickinson's life and its intersection with her verse. In the dream-like illustrations, the poet --- sometimes serene, often sad and always enigmatic --- is an omnipresent figure in her ghostly white dress. Dickinson's "letters", the words she left to the world, have found their ideal visual complement.
