2012., BookThug Call No: QWF 811.6 N519c Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: In Coit, minimalist traces of language cling to a series of mapped channels. Every channel is a tenuous archive of choreographed gestures recorded by the poet from the edges of dance stages. Here, spaces hold words and words hold movement. A book marked by inexhaustible passages, this exquisite English-language translation of Québécoise poet Chantal Neveuœs fourth book invites the reader to collaborate in the making of both texts and spaces. Here, Coït refers not only to coitus but to the act of moving in unison. Conceptual and intimate, Coït is a consensual experiment that exceeds the form of the book.

Aeolus House Call No: QWF 811.6 C321d Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: Many of the poems focus on dogs and cats owned by the author, their personalities and role as loved companions to a writer’s solitary home life, set apart from the city and society in general. In a plain style, and with an engaging honesty and subtlety, the poems present the ordinary but precisely observed experiences of someone living without a significant other who has a grown daughter about to leave home. There are some poems that reflect on writing and the writing life, and a series of poems about living with cancer as well as dealing with chronic fatigue.

2022., DC Books Call No: NEW QWF 811.6 B978i Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: Joseph Campbell: The airplane has replaced the bird in the imagination as the symbol of the release of spirit from the bonds of earth. Hence, Invisible Sea. Part critique, part celebration of technology, these poems explore the symbolic and mythical associations of the historical moment when human beings took flight and, in a sense, became Godlike. The opening section is in the voice of Wilbur Wright as he unlocks the mysteries of human flight and, consequently, pays a heavy price. The next section examines the stories of other early aeronauts, both legendary and real, from Daedalus to John Glenn, orbiting the earth. The title poem of the collection, a serial poem, scans the major discoveries of aeronautics, beginning with Da Vinci's study of fluids and ending with trans-sonic flight.

2012., Gaspereau Press Call No: QWF 811.609 S795l Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: If grown-ups donœt read poetryœ, writes poet and critic Carmine Starnino, itœs not because they have a bone to pick with poets. The truth is even more intolerable: they prefer not to. . . Theyœre just not that into us.œ In his latest collection of critical essays, Starnino reports on the state of poetry with his usual sleeves-rolled-up approach to literary criticism which synthesizes broad observation with close reading. Engaging both icons (Atwood, Birney, McKay, Moritz, bpNichol) and lesser-knowns (James Denoon, Anne Szumigalski, Peter Trower), Starnino writes with the style, wit and intensity of a poet-critic, offering confident, intelligent candour where we have too often settled for bland, much-recycled truismsœ.

2018., Frontenac House Poetry Call No: QWF BLK 811.6 E92n Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Nouveau Griot is the result of 20 years on stage and in studio. It is the text from four spoken word audio recordings made between 2004-2016: Invisible World, The Memorists, Language for Gods and ZENSHIP. This work is in the continuum of the griot, which is a French African word meaning "poet, singer and traveling musician [...] to whom supernatural powers are often attributed.""--

[2015], Adult, Brick Books Call No: QWF 811.54 S719t Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: The world in Carolyn Marie Souaidœs latest collection is both an act of the imagination and a responsibility. Souaidœs poems zoom in and out, shifting focus to accommodate varied dimensions of experience. We move from the breakdown of a relationship to primordial ooze to a suicide bomb to a son doing his math homework. In a disarmingly personable voice, Souaid investigates our darker moments, faces up to losses and failures both intimate and public, often with wry humour. If our world is an imperfect invention, it is also, for Souaid, a source of wonder where the trick was not to fall asleep but to notice everything / in its brevity.·.

c2013., Coach House Books Call No: QWF 811.6 B874w Edition: 1st English ed. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: Between the verbs quivering and streaming, White Piano unfolds its variations like musical scores. A play of resonance between pronouns and persons, freely percussive between prose and poetry, and narrating a constellation of questions, White Piano offers readers a 'language that cultivates its own craters of fire and savoir-vie.'.
