2013., Livres DC Books Call No: QWF 811.6 M478a Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: The poems in McAuley s All I Can Say for Sure range from personal archaeology and elegiac fictions of free translations to grammar wordplay for the initiated to a compassionately ironic look at the passing of life to rewired material extensions of our inner and outer spaces. McAuley s meditations upon the details of quotidian life and historical personae are rendered with the syntactical precision of a linguist and the metaphorical density of a riddler.

2021., General, Brick Books Call No: NEW BLK QWF 811.54 T457v Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "A visceral, vital, unblinking debut collection of poems exploring kinesthetic memory and longing, inherited violence, and the body as a geographical site. We're often told that we are given only what we can bear. For some of us our first lessons are in how much pain we're made to think we deserve--and the resulting scars are always meant to be kept secret. Assiyah Jamilla Touré's debut collection is a record of those scars--not those inflicted on us by the thousands of little wars we live in everyday, but those that come afterwards, those we inflict upon ourselves to mark the path. Each and every poem in Autowar was written on a cell phone, transcribing an urgent revisiting of old sites of pain, and also a revisiting of one young person's power and ability--to hurt themself, or others. These poems are powerful evocations of how even our scars have worlds and lives."--Publisher.

2014., Editions du Noroît Call No: QWF FR 841 M517a Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: D'abord paru chez VLB en 1994, «L'Avant-printemps à Montréal est ici repris par l'auteur pour le plus grand plaisir de ses lecteurs. «Sertie dans une forme souple, la poésie de Melançon nous rend ces «choses d'un jour, les instants qui nous échappent. La précarité, la fragilité de l'instant que le poème enlumine dans son mouvement est restituée. Le «style bas qu'il pratique, cette magnifique «prose rimée ou rime en prose des poèmes et des épîtres que Robert Melançon adresse à des amis (George Johnston, Jacques Brault) est une construction, un «artifice qui prend la mesure de l'instant à l'aune du temps qui passe, qui le saisit sans l'arrêter, le coule dans le mouvement même qui l'emporte. FORTIER, Anne-Marie. «Le séjour et l'heure, in Liberté, 1995.

1990., ECW Press Call No: QWF 811.54 O73b Edition: ed. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: The poems in this collection, representing work from the decade 1980-1990, range from evocations of common objects, a sea shell or a twisted nail, to explorations of an inner world of memory and imagination. Throughout the collection, there is a tension between things in their unique coherence and the imagination compelled to assimilate them: our seeing is never pure, is never seeing and only seeing.

2021., Coach House Books Call No: QWF 811.6 B957b Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Camus's Meursault and Thelma and Louise meet up under the blazing sun. Obsessed with both Camus's L'étranger and Thelma and Louise, Because the Sun considers violence under the blazing sun. Starting with Meursault's murder of a man on the beach as he is "pressed" by the blinding sun and considering the gendered violence against the victim's sister, Sarah Burgoyne goes on to consider Louise pulling the trigger on Thelma's assailant - all while thinking about the sun, that "unremarkable star" that is a material symbol of pain, an affective backlog we're slung under, pushing through desert after desert. Because the Sun's pastiche of personal and "objective" (often scientific) voices strives to embody both stylistic and formal "relentlessness" by teasing out discursive tonalities that blend and merge into each other, generating a blinding effect, like looking into the sun."--
