Par Ken Babstock. 2011

poem itself - the idea of a poem - as a unit of understanding is shadowed by a great unknowing. Fearless in its language, its trajectories and frames of reference, these poems gaze upon the objects of their attention until they rattle and exude their auras of strangeness. Some strong language. 2011.Listen before transmit
Par Dani Couture. 2018
Dani Couture's latest poems are transmissions that travel across the cosmos and the spaces we live in, as well as…
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

Mama Rock's rules: ten lessons for raising a houseful of successful children
Par Valerie Graham, Rose Rock. 2008
Much more than Chris Rock's mom, Rock has been a special needs school teacher, a preschool administrator, a radio host,…
a mother of 10 and a foster mother of 17. Rock believes in the absolute authority of parents but also in the need for those parents to be role models. Divided into chapters like "I Am Your Mama, Not Your Friend" and "Feed Them and They Will Tell You Everything," Rose's rules are sensible and well illustrated, embracing traditional values like discipline, everyday spirituality and togetherness. 2008.Making friends with Frankenstein: a book of monstrous poems and pictures

Par Ted Hughes. 1970
With the publication of "Lupercal", Ted Hughes fully realised the promise of "The hawk in the rain". It was clear…

and as a Chosen Dad for the suicidal and abused children he has met, he knows that childhood has a profound effect on lifelong health.

In this book, he shares the gems he has garnered from his medical practice and family life. 2007.Looking east over my shoulder
Par Jill Jorgenson. 2014
A book that wakes with the dawn and goes on to explore how the day unfolds, in poems populated by…
animals, plants, and people both real and imagined. Drawing on the natural world around her and on an inner arena of love and family, Jorgenson finds voice for the tender and the bitter, the peace and the turmoil, the playful and the wise. Her attention alights on often unlikely subjects: a pinwheel, a basket of overripe lychees, the hollow shaft of a spent lily, a jerryrigged shopping buggy, the sounds that different kinds of sprinklers make, and the moon's reflection in a mug of coffee. 2014.Late style
Par Barry Dempster. 2017

Par Claudia Emerson. 2005

her new husband in a series of epistolary poems. Though not satisfied in her first marriage, she laments vanishing from the life she and her husband shared for years.

and settled over the years, uncomfortable with the land and its people, uncomfortable sometimes with themselves. Winner of the 1997 Governor General's Award for English poetry.Lake of two mountains
Par Arleen Paré. 2014
Arleen Paré's second poetry collection is a portrait of a lake, of a relationship to a lake, of a network…
of relationships around a lake. It maps, probes and applauds the riparian region of central Canadian geography that lies between the Ottawa and the St. Lawrence Rivers. The poems portray this territory, its contested human presences and natural history: the 1990 Oka Crisis, Pleistocene shifts and dislocations, the feather-shaped Ile Cadieux, a Trappist monastery on the lake's northern shore. As we are drawn into experience of the lake and its environs, we also enter an intricate interleaving of landscape and memory, a reflection on how a place comes to inhabit us even as we inhabit it. Winner of the 2014 Governor General's Literary Award for poetry. 2014.Book of annotations
Par Cameron Anstee. 2018
This debut collection from small press editor and publisher Cameron Anstee deploys a number of minimalist strategies--including erasure, found, lyric,…
haiku, one-line, one-word, concrete/visual, cento, restricted vocabularies, and lists--to question how small a poem can be made, and how can a small poem be made expansive? Engaging with contemporary and historical modes of minimalism, "Book of Annotations" is a dialogue in shorthand with work by H.D., Nelson Ball, Lorine Niedecker, Aram Saroyan, Phyllis Webb, Robert Lax, and dozens of others. 2018.
