Par Cynthia J Faryon. 2009
David Milgaard was a kid who got into lots of trouble. Unfortunately, that made it easy for the Saskatoon police…
to brand him as a murderer. At seventeen, David was arrested, jailed, and convicted for the rape and murder of a young nursing assistant, Gail Miller. Throughout his twenty-three years in prison, David maintained that he was innocent and refused to admit to the crime, even though it meant he was never granted parole. Finally, through the incredible determination of his mother and new lawyers who believed in him, David was released and proven not guilty. This is the true story of how bad decisions, tunnel vision, poor representation, and outright lying and coercion by those within the justice system caused a tragic miscarriage of justice.

Par Erin Robinsong. 2017
In this time of ecological precarity, "Rag Cosmology" is an urgent invitation to reinvent our modes of engagement with the…
environment we not only inhabit, but are. Refusing the lamentation that leaves us as resigned witnesses to devastation, "Rag Cosmology" counters fatalist narratives with the pleasures of ecological entanglement and engagement. Tracing relationships between seemingly irreconcilable things--economy and ecology, weather and lust, bills and inner voices, wages of avoidance and wages of listening--these poems offer the intimate and lush language of thought that yearn for an imaginative reinvention of how we understand what we are part of and what we are losing. Winner of the 2017 A.M. Klein Prize for Poetry (QWF). 2017.Putting trials on trial: sexual assault and the failure of the legal profession
Par Elaine Craig. 2018
In this thorough evaluation of the legal culture and courtroom practices prevalent in sexual assault litigation, the author provides an…
even-handed account of the ways in which the legal profession unnecessarily--and sometimes unlawfully--contributes to the trauma and re-victimization experienced by those who testify as sexual assault complainants. Gathering conclusive evidence from interviews with experienced lawyers across Canada, reported case law, lawyer memoirs, recent trial transcripts, and defence lawyers' public statements and commercial advertisements, the book demonstrates that--despite prominent contestations--complainants are regularly subjected to abusive, humiliating, and discriminatory treatment when they turn to the law to respond to violations of their sexual integrity, and further examines how the legal profession can better respond to, and remedy, some of the factors that make sexual assault proceedings distressing for complainants. 2018.Probably inevitable

made concrete by Samuel Johnson, before it was undone by Niels Bohr, Tierney uses his wit and legerdemain to grapple with the gap between what's seen and what's experienced. Winner of the 2013 Trillium Book Award for Poetry. c2012.1871. A police constable walking one of London’s remotest beats stumbled upon a brutalized young woman kneeling on a muddy…
road - gashes were cloven into her skull, her left cheek was slashed open and smashed in, her right eye was destroyed, and above it a chunk of the temporal bone had been bashed out. The policeman gaped in horror as the woman held out her hand before collapsing into the mud, muttering “let me die” and slipping into a coma. Five days later, she died, her identity still unknown. Within hours of her discovery on Kidbrooke Lane, scores of the officers of the Greenwich Division were involved in the investigation, and Scotland Yard had sent one of its top detectives, John Mulvany, to lead it. After five days of gathering evidence, the police discovered the girl’s identity: Jane Maria Clouson, a maid in the house of the renowned Pook family… and she was two months’ pregnant with Edmund Pook’s child when she died. Murphy carefully reviews the evidence in the light of twenty-first-century forensic science in order to identify Jane’s killer. 2016.Paradise lost
