notre quotidien? Il se compose de réflexions, de poèmes et de lettres envoyées à l'auteur, Serge Laprade. 1981.On not losing my father's ashes in the flood
Par Richard Harrison. 2016
In his final years, Richard Harrison's father suffered from a form of dementia, but he died without ever forgetting the…
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. Winner of the 2017 Governor General’s Award for Poetry. 2016. Uniform title: Poems.Ocean
Par Sue Goyette. 2013
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.Now you care

grades, body odour, prank calls, sex, and drinking. Each story serves as a reminder that no mother is the only one to go through the difficult stages, and all have happy endings, eventually. Some strong language. 2004.On becoming baby wise: Book one
Par Gary Ezzo, Robert Bucknam. 2001
The classic reference guide utilized by over 1,000,000 parents worldwide. The Babywise Parent Directed Feeding concept has enough structure to…
bring security and order to your baby's world, yet enough flexibility to give mom freedom to respond to outside needs. It teaches parents how to lovingly guide their baby's day rather than be guided or enslaved to the infant's unknown needs. The average breast-fed PDF baby sleeps continuously through the night between weeks seven and nine, and healthy sleep in infants is analogous to healthy growth and development. 2001.On abducting the 'cello
Par Wayne Clifford. 2004
Old hat
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.November (Picador poetry)
Par Sean O'Brien. 2011
Poems haunted by the missing and the missed, the vanished and the uncounted, and the uncountable lost: sleep, connections, muses,…

Par Thomas Gordon, Louise Drolet. 1990

Par Georges Amsellem. 2014

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.Night errands: how poets use dreams
Par Rod Townley. 1998

our day-lit selves to visit a place where the dream-like and the nightmarish are never far apart. Culminates in 'Elsewhere', a noirish, labyrinthine quest-poem in which the protagonist is drawn ever onward through a series of encounters and reflections like an after-hours Orpheus, hard-bitten and harried by memory. Includes sex, strong language and violence. c2011.My shoes are killing me: poems
Par Robyn Sarah, Eric L Ormsby. 2015
