Par Frédéric Dumont. 2022
Une autobiographie ratée ? Je suis trop jeune de toute façon. Le présent, mais contaminé par des souvenirs réels et…
inventés. Une histoire ? Petites histoires, poèmes, vie, mort, enfant, adulte, enfant, adulte, argent, pas d'argent. Intérieur, extérieur. Tout cohabite, internet, un imaginaire obsédé par les cercles et la mort et cela s'explique peut-être par mes longues promenades circulaires à Longueuil. J'aime vivre aussi. Vraiment beaucoup. Je cherche encore mon rythme, je cherche dans mes poches, il me reste un vingt, j'ai dix doigts, des jambesCollected poems of Robert Service

day/break
Par Gwen Benaway. 2020
day/break, Governor General's Literary Award Winner Gwen Benaway's fourth collection of work, explores the everyday poetics of the trans feminine…
body. Through intimate experiences and conceptualizations of trans life, day/break asks what it means to be a trans woman, both within the text and out in the physical world. Shifting between theory and poetry, Benaway questions how gender, sexuality, and love intersect with the violence and transmisogyny of the nation state and established literary institutions. In beautiful lyric verse, day/break reveals the often-unseen other worlds of trans life, where body, self, and sex are transformed, becoming more than fixed binary locations.Praise for day/break:"Gwen Benaway is quickly becoming a master poet. Four books in and blowing all of our minds, but I really think she's just getting warmed up. I wanted to write something brilliant to recommend day/break, but I can think of nothing better than Gwen's own words: 'we will not say love / knowing enough / of grief / to speak / truer words.'" —Katherena Vermette, award-winning author of The Break"What vision, what musicality! This astounding and brilliant examination of love and its discontents reminds me of Anne Carson's theory that love turns us into anthropologists of our own lives. From Benaway's day/break (her best book yet), we might learn how to democratize love's liberatory possibilities. How lucky are we to be reading in the time of Gwen Benaway!" —Billy-Ray Belcourt, award-winning author of NDN Coping MechanismsLa route des oiseaux de mer: haïkus (Haïku)

Par Farzana Doctor. 2022
A moving collection of poetry about navigating mid-life, full of humour and wit, from acclaimed novelist Farzana DoctorThis debut poetry…
collection from acclaimed novelist Farzana Doctor is both an intimate deep dive and a humorous glance at the tumultuous decade of her forties. Through crisp and vivid language, Doctor explores mid-life breakups and dating, female genital cutting, imprints of racism and misogyny, and the oddness of sex and love, and urges us to take a second look at the ways in which human relationships are never what we expect them to be.Standing in a River of Time
Par Jónína Kirton. 2022
Standing in a River of Time merges poetry and lyrical memoir on a journey exposing the intergenerational effects of colonization…
on a Métis family. Kirton does not shy away from hard realities, meeting them head on, but always treating them with respect and the love stemming from a lifetime of spiritual healing and decades of sobriety. This collection unravels painful memories and a mixed-blood woman’s journey towards wholeness. The Ancestors whisper to Kirton throughout, asking her to heal, to bring them home, so that within these stories of redemption and loss the dead walk with us, their presence felt as the story unfurls in unexpected ways. Kirton does not offer false hope, nor does she push us towards answers we are not yet ready for. Instead, she gestures towards the many healing modalities she has explored as she discovers that the path to reconciliation is not only a long and winding road, but also that it begins with those closest to us.Sho
Par Douglas Kearney. 2021
2022 WINNER OF THE GRIFFIN POETRY PRIZE2021 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST FOR POETRYEschewing series and performative typography, Douglas Kearney’s Sho…
aims to hit crooked licks with straight-seeming sticks. Navigating the complex penetrability of language, these poems are sonic in their espousal of Black vernacular traditions, while examining histories, pop culture, myth, and folklore. Both dazzling and devastating, Sho is a genius work of literary precision, wordplay, farce, and critical irony. In his “stove-like imagination,” Kearney has concocted poems that destabilize the spectacle, leaving looky-loos with an important uncertainty about the intersection between violence and entertainment.Letters in a bruised cosmos
Par Liz Howard. 2021
The latest from the author of the Griffin Poetry Prize Award-winning collection Infinite Citizen of the Shaking Tent . GRIFFIN…
POETRY PRIZE, FINALIST I have to believe my account will outpace its ending. The danger and necessity of living with each other is at the core of Liz Howard's daring and intimate second collection. Letters in a Bruised Cosmos asks who do we become after the worst has happened? Invoking the knowledge histories of Western and Indigenous astrophysical science, Howard takes us on a breakneck river course of radiant and perilous survival in which we are invited to “reforge [ourselves] inside tomorrow's humidex”. Everyday observation, family history, and personal tragedy are sublimated here in a propulsive verse that is relentlessly its own. Part autobiography, part philosophical puzzlement, part love song, Letters in a Bruised Cosmos is a book that once read will not soon be forgottenThe Shadow List
Par Jen Sookfong Lee. 2021
In these devastating lyric poems Jen Sookfong Lee unfolds the experience of her narrator, following her through frost-chilled nights and…
salt-scented days, as she pulls at the knot of accumulated expectations around her trying to create space to want and to be. The Shadow List is a book filled with desire, where we question the politics of who gets to choose and who doesn't and where the narrator creates hidden lists of what she really wants. With a novelist's way with character, Lee builds a deep connection with the narrator of the poems, yet each individual poem creates a vivid snapshot of moments many will recognize. The slick of black ice, the killing light of day, the cheap, plastic diamonds ? they are all pieces of a life we gather and put in our pockets to remember with.Le slam de MC June est une poésie du quotidien, coup de poing, qui ne cherche pas à faire «…
joli » à tout prix. Aux confins de l'ombre et de la lumière, entre des réalités parfois crues et des réflexions existentielles, MC June joue avec les mots, se confie, questionne, s'indigne et chante sans complaisance la complexité du monde.Fresh Pack of Smokes

Dissecting herself and the life she once knew living a transient life that included time spent in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside…
as a bonafide drug addict, Blanchard writes plainly about violence, drug use and sex work in Fresh Pack of Smokes, offering insight into an often overlooked or misunderstood world.Beauty is a verb: the new poetry of disability

Poetry. This special edition celebrates twenty-five years of the Best American Poetry series, which has become an institution. From its inception in 1988, it has been hotly debated, keenly monitored, ardently advocated (or denounced), and obsessively scrutinized. Each volume consists of seventy-five poems chosen by a major American poet acting as guest editor--from John Ashbery in 1988 to Mark Doty in 2012, with stops along the way for such poets as Charles Simic, A. R. Ammons, Louise Glück, Adrienne Rich, Billy Collins, Heather McHugh, and Kevin Young. Out of the 1,875 poems that have appeared in The Best American Poetry, here are 100 that Robert Pinsky, the distinguished poet and man of letters, has chosen for this milestone edition." -- Provided by publisherThe Best American Poetry 2003: series editor David Lehman

With comments from the poets elucidating their work and series editor David Lehman's eloquent foreword assessing the state of the art, The Best American Poetry 2003 is a must-have for readers of contemporary poetry." -- Provided by publisherEarth keeper: reflections on the American land
Par N. Scott Momaday. 2020
"One of the most distinguished voices in American letters, N. Scott Momaday has devoted much of his life to celebrating…
and preserving Native American culture, especially its oral tradition. A member of the Kiowa tribe, Momaday was born in Lawton, Oklahoma and grew up on Navajo, Apache, and Peublo reservations throughout the Southwest. It is a part of the earth he knows well and loves deeply. In Earth Keeper, he reflects on his native ground and its influence on his people. "When I think about my life and the lives of my ancestors," he writes, "I am inevitably led to the conviction that I, and they, belong to the American land. This is a declaration of belonging. And it is an offering to the earth." In this wise and wonderous work, Momaday shares stories and memories throughout his life, stories that have been passed down through generations, stories that reveal a profound spiritual connection to the American landscape and reverence for the natural world. He offers an homage and a warning. He shows us that the earth is a sacred place of wonder and beauty, a source of strength and healing that must be honored and protected before it's too late. As he so eloquently and simply reminds us, we must all be keepers of the earth." -- Provided by publisherThe best American poetry 2020 (Best American poetry)
