intense plea to be truly seen by another, a sort of devotional sequence addressing the psychological construct of attachment. Can we change? Has anyone ever changed? Does it matter? Lives marred by injury and violence, both physical and psychic, emerge in the book as meditations on trust, endurance, faith, destruction, and love. Howell's voice combines ferocious intimacy and moral rigour with precision and compassion. The Hawai'ian surf, the neuropsychologist's lab, the deliriums of social media, and the recovery room. 2018.

have the sparse directness of a kind of bleak prayer; others mingle the earthbound rhythms of hip-hop with the will-to-transcendence of high Romanticism. Harnessing techniques of the cinematic and audio arts, Book’s poems splice, sample, collage, and jump-cut language from an array of sources, including slave narratives, Western philosophy, hip hop lyrics, and the diaries of plantation owners. In fusing disparate texts, each poem in this collection attempts to create a community in language. Thus, at its core, the project is utopic - or more precisely, to borrow from Duke Ellington - “blutopic.” 2014.For Tamara

life in Canada through elegy and acts of translation of text and of self. The collection opens with a kind of hymn to life on the planet, sung from the peak of that urban island, Montreal - an attempt to see beyond death. The book moves into a sequence of poems described by Sharon Thesen as the poet "envisioning the passage of time under the 'full and waning' moon of Mount Royal's beacon cross, recalling her Italian immigrant parents in Toronto and her current life in Montreal [. . .] a sort of Decameron." It is poetry as time machine, transcending the borders between life and death, language and culture. 2017.Decline of the animal kingdom

grows weary of his unrewarding office job and unfulfilling relationships. Exploring the victories and defeats of an urban existence complete with 9-to-5 office angst, the claustrophobia of domestic partnerships in bachelor apartments, and party-and-pick-up culture, this is Clarke’s love letter to the city of Toronto, and to extinct animals and office misfits alike. 2015.Broetry: poetry for dudes

our senses ("Cloud deduced cloud / after cloud and cloud.") Beckoningly tender, lucid and intelligent, elegiac without being maudlin, "East and West" explores what Ritland calls the "middle ground" of childhood, family, diaspora, and migration, and how new cultural ideas can disrupt traditional perspectives. "My bedroom window an escape hatch / to endless sights of coastal stars." Ritland takes the measure of herself--"I'm an integer of my own society"--in one of the most distinctive and beautifully turned styles in Canadian poetry. 2018.Beyond my keeping
