actions and regrets, in a perpetual state of movement. While living in solitude, she crosses borders actual (Algiers, Cuba, Canada), and timeless.

poems he had memorized as a student and had taught to Richard as a child. In 2013, the poet feared his father's ashes had been lost in the flood water that ravaged Alberta--a crisis that would become the inciting event and central theme of this collection. Combining elements of memoir, elegy, lyrical essay and personal correspondence with appreciations of literary works ranging from haiku to comic books, Richard Harrison has written a book of great intellectual depth that is as generous as it is enchanting.

The ocean has never had a biographer quite like Sue Goyette. Living in the port city of Halifax, Goyette’s days…
are bounded by the substantial fact of the North Atlantic, both by its physical presence and by its metaphoric connotations. And like many of life’s overwhelming facts, our awareness of the ocean’s importance and impact waxes and wanes as the ocean sometimes lurks in the background, sometimes imposes itself upon us, yet always, steadily, is. This collection of poems is not your standard “Oh, Ocean!” versifying. Goyette plunges in and swims well outside the buoys to craft a sort of alternate, apocryphal account of our relationship with the ocean. 2013.Par Diana Brandt. 2003
Par Wayne Clifford. 2004
Par Rob Winger. 2014
While rich with advice to "Keep your personal longings with you at all times", "Old Hat" is also generous, incisive,…
boisterous, and funny, a collection of poems about place, but also about understanding and situation. Spoken through clichés, vernacular, and jargon, it is just as familiar as it is odd, just as comforting as disquieting, an exceptional meditation on what it means to think about writing. 2014.Par Sally Hobart Alexander. 1997

At the same time, Oliver pursued a personal passion for Canada’s wilderness rivers, paddling some of the remotest waters in western and northern Canada with political and media figures such as Tim Kotcheff and Pierre Trudeau. Most surprising is the revelation that this comfortable television presenter has been legally blind for a decade. Includes strong language. c2011.Par Bryan Magee, Martin Milligan. 1995

Maria was coming home late from work when, on a trailer a good distance in front of her, an item of unsecured furniture fell off and broke apart, sending a large piece of particle board catapulting through her windshield, striking her in the head, and causing massive brain and head injuries as well as complete blindness.

s'occupe d'écriture et de production de films. Son propre itinéraire le sensibilise à la condition des immigrants, au département des minorités, écartelées entre l'exil et l'espoir. Il poétise, sans nostalgie ni complaisance sur l'espace, le temps et les sables du désert qu'il fait éclater pour ensuite nous en restituer la quintessence. 2014.
