What our lives permit us to perceive as givens, Nguyen reveals as mere conditions, inextricably tied to and guided by…
greater forces - from the economy to the environment, from the Mayan predictions to the menstrual cycle, from the weight of history to the burden of the future. The poems contain a sense of dis-ease, rupture, things frayed, and grief as love shimmers the edges. As grounded in the earth as in the stars, the poems are reminders of the possibilities of contemplation in every space and moment. 2016. Uniform title: Poems.We was robbed: yet more football poems

Par Grand Corps Malade. 2012
" Il y a une quinzaine d'années, en chahutant avec des amis, le jeune Fabien, pas encore vingt ans, fait…
un plongeon dans une piscine. Il heurte le fond du bassin, dont l'eau n'est pas assez profonde, et se déplace les vertèbres. Bien qu'on lui annonce qu'il restera probablement paralysé à vie, il retrouve peu à peu l'usage de ses jambes après une année de rééducation. Quand il se lance dans une carrière d'auteur-chanteur-slameur, en 2003, c'est en référence aux séquelles de cet accident... On connaît l'immense succès qui suit : trois albums plébiscités par le public et la critique, une distinction de Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres, qui récompense la qualité de sa plume, toujours subtile et surprenante... Dans son livre, où il se fait pour la première fois auteur d'un récit en prose, il raconte, avec humour, dérision et beaucoup d'émotion, les douze mois passés en centre de rééducation et relate les aventures tragiques mais aussi cocasses vécues par lui et ses colocataires d'infortune.

Par Cecily Nicholson. 2018

This is a poetic account of economy travel on North American roadways, across Peace and Ambassador bridges and through the Fleetway tunnel, above and beneath Great Lake rivers between nation states.

Par Jim Brown. 2019
Dubbed "the Jesse James of Canada," Norman "Red" Ryan was infamous in the 1920s and '30s until he was gunned…
down in an attempted robbery in Sarnia, Ontario. Ernest Hemingway wrote about Ryan's escape from Kingston Penitentiary for the Toronto Star, Morley Callaghan based a novel on him and stories of Ryan and his crimes filled newspapers and airwaves. One of the first Canadians to be granted parole, he was held up by Prime Minister R.B. Bennett as a model of rehabilitation and became a regular guest at Toronto police picnics. All the while, however, Ryan was continuing a crime spree on the side. Jim Brown, filmmaker and CBC Radio host, tells the incredible true story of "Red" Ryan, a larger-than-life criminal whose fame and legend were much encouraged by the media--he was the "Kardashian" of the time--and whose story endures.Disintegrate/dissociate: poems /

Par Leonard Cohen. 2018
This is the final work from Leonard Cohen, the poet and musician. It features poems, excerpts from his private notebooks,…
lyrics, and hand-drawn self-portraits, and offers an unprecedentedly intimate look inside the life and mind of a singular artist. A reckoning with a life lived deeply and passionately, with wit and panache, "The Flame" is a valedictory work. "This volume contains my father's final efforts as a poet," writes Cohen's son, Adam Cohen, in his foreword. "It was what he was staying alive to do, his sole breathing purpose at the end." Leonard Cohen died in late 2016. But "each page of paper that he blackened," in the words of his son, "was lasting evidence of a burning soul." Bestseller. 2018.Holy Wild
Par Gwen Benaway. 2018
In her third collection of poetry, Holy Wild, Gwen Benaway explores the complexities of being an Indigenous trans women in…
expansive lyric poems. She holds up the Indigenous trans body as a site of struggle, liberation, and beauty. A confessional poet, Benaway narrates her sexual and romantic intimacies with partners as well as her work to navigate the daily burden of transphobia and violence. She examines the intersections of Indigenous and trans experience through autobiographical poems and continues to speak to the legacy of abuse, violence, and colonial erasure that defines Canada. Her sparse lines, interwoven with English and Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe), illustrate the wonder and power of Indigenous trans womanhood in motion. Holy Wild is not an easy book, as Benaway refuses to give any simple answers, but it is a profoundly vibrant and beautiful work filled with a transcendent grace.Falling for myself: a memoir /
Par Dorothy Ellen Palmer. 2019

From repeated childhood surgeries to an activist awakening at university to decades as a feminist teacher, mom, improv coach and unionist, she tried to hide being different. But now, standing proud with her walker, she's sharing her journey. Navigating abandonment, abuse and ableism, she finds her birth parents and a new chosen family in the disability community. 2019.Solitary: unbroken by four decades in solitary confinement : my story of transformation and hope /
Par Albert Woodfox. 2019
Arrested often as a teenager in New Orleans, Albert was behind bars in his early twenties when he was inspired…
to join the Black Panther Party because of its social commitment and code of living. He was serving a 50-year sentence in Angola prison in Louisiana for armed robbery when on April 17, 1972, a white guard was killed. Albert and another member of the Panthers were immediately accused of the crime and put in solitary confinement by the warden. Without a shred of actual evidence against them, their trial was a sham of justice that gave them life sentences in solitary. Decades passed before Albert gained a lawyer of consequence; even so, sixteen more years and multiple appeals were needed before he was finally released in February 2016. Remarkably self-aware that anger or bitterness would have destroyed him in solitary confinement, sustained by the shared solidarity of two fellow Panthers, Albert turned his anger into activism and resistance. The Angola 3, as they became known, resolved never to be broken by the grinding inhumanity and corruption that effectively held them for decades as political prisoners. 2019.
