haiku, one-line, one-word, concrete/visual, cento, restricted vocabularies, and lists--to question how small a poem can be made, and how can a small poem be made expansive?

beloved partner's crossing into Alzheimer's is at the heart of this book, and his "battered blue Sonoma" is an evocation of numerous other crossings: between empirical reportage and meditative apprehension, dreaming and wakefulness, Eastern and Western poetic traditions. Rich in both pathos and sharp shards of insight, Munro's wisdom here is deeply embedded, shot through with moments of wit and candour. In the tradition of Taoist poets like Wang Wei and Po-Chu-i, her sixth book opens a wide poetic space, and renders difficult conditions with the lightest of touches.

Par Joshua Whitehead. 2017
This poetry collections focuses on a hybridized Indigiqueer Trickster character named Zoa who brings together the organic (the protozoan) and…
the technologic (the binaric) in order to re-beautify and re-member queer Indigeneity. This Trickster is a Two-Spirit / Indigiqueer invention that resurges in the apocalypse to haunt, atrophy, and to reclaim. Following oral tradition, Zoa infects, invades, and becomes a virus to canonical and popular works in order to re-centre Two-Spirit livelihoods. They dazzlingly and fiercely take on the likes of Edmund Spenser, Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, and John Milton while also not forgetting contemporary pop culture figures such as Lana Del Rey, Grindr, and Peter Pan. 2017.Cartograph

Uniform title: Poems.Infinite citizen of the shaking tent
Par Liz Howard. 2015
The mechanisms we use to make sense of our worlds – even our direct intimate experiences of it – come…
under constant scrutiny and a pressure that feels like love. The waters of Northern Ontario shield country are the toxic origin and an image of potential. A subject, a woman, a consumer, a polluter; an erotic force, a confused brilliance, a very necessary form of urgency – all are loosely tethered together and made somehow to resonate with our own devotions and fears; made “to be small and dreaming parallel / to ceremony and decay.” Winner of the 2016 Griffin Poetry Prize. 2015.

Par Aisha Sasha John. 2017
Toronto poet, choreographer and performer John's third poetry collection is a book-length suite of lyric poems running lengthwise across the…
entire stretch of being, exploring the physical, the sexual and the spiritual. There is something memoir-ish, even “confessional” in her first-person poems, carved as a combination between lyric essay, storytelling and myth. These poems revel in the phrase and fragment, held together as a single, extended book-length declaration of story, personality and theatre; a declaration of standing firm, resisting when required, and being attentive to whatever might come. This is an open-hearted, no nonsense collection of hefty, articulate, funny and sensual poems. 2017.I left nothing inside on purpose: poems
Par Stevie Howell. 2018
Poems of stringent aesthetic demands and volcanic emotional release. Bewildering in their linguistic beauty, they verge on prayer in their…
intense plea to be truly seen by another, a sort of devotional sequence addressing the psychological construct of attachment. Can we change? Has anyone ever changed? Does it matter? Lives marred by injury and violence, both physical and psychic, emerge in the book as meditations on trust, endurance, faith, destruction, and love. Howell's voice combines ferocious intimacy and moral rigour with precision and compassion. The Hawai'ian surf, the neuropsychologist's lab, the deliriums of social media, and the recovery room. 2018. Uniform title: Poems.Épines d'encre: trente-trois masques de la rose
Par Andrée Christensen. 2016
