Some strong language. 2011.Men: notes from an ongoing investigation
Par Laura Kipnis. 2014
It’s no secret that men often behave in intemperate ways, but in recent years we’ve witnessed so many spectacular public…
displays of male excess—disgraced politicians, erotically desperate professors, fallen sports icons—that we’re left to wonder whether something has come unwired in the collective male psyche. Kipnis revisits the archetypes of wayward masculinity that have captured her imagination over the years, scrutinizing men who have figured in her own life alongside more controversial public examples. Slicing through the usual clichés about the differences between the sexes, Kipnis mixes intellectual rigour and wit to give us a compelling survey of the affinities, jealousies, longings, and erotics that structure the male-female bond. 2014.Listen before transmit

within the more intimate distances we navigate between one another. Distances we hope to bridge with contact, often to profound or disastrous effects. With language rooted in science, sociology, memoir and aesthetics, she questions the limits of our bodies, both human and celestial. Like the subtle cues we lend one another and the hopeful messages we send into deep space, these poems broadcast our greatest aspirations and vulnerabilities. 2018.Little wildheart (Robert Kroetsch series)
Par Micheline Maylor. 2017
Micheline Maylor's poems slip effortlessly through topics ranging from what we give up as we age to regrets for love…
that has passed, the interplay between the animal world and human thought, and the myths we append to ourselves and others. An expansive, conversational voice underscores the poet's technical mastery as her subjects turn from love to hope to fearlessness. Maylor asks readers to perceive how we inhabit our selves, how words construct us. By turns quirky, startling, earthy, and hope-filled, these poems reflect the moods of existence. Little Wildheart is rich with challenge and surprise. 2017.Little Poems for Tiny Ears
