crazy idea: how about gathering a group of beloved jazz musicians and photographing them? He didn't own a good camera, didn't know if any musicians would show up, and insisted on setting up the shoot in front of a Harlem brownstone. Could he pull it off? In these poems, Roxane Orgill steps into the frame of Harlem 1958, bringing to life the musicians' mischief and quirks, their memorable style, and the vivacious atmosphere of a Harlem block full of kids on a hot summer's day.

the 1950's, when thousands of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit children were placed in these schools against their parents' wishes.

This poetry collections focuses on a hybridized Indigiqueer Trickster character named Zoa who brings together the organic (the protozoan) and…
the technologic (the binaric) in order to re-beautify and re-member queer Indigeneity. This Trickster is a Two-Spirit / Indigiqueer invention that resurges in the apocalypse to haunt, atrophy, and to reclaim. Following oral tradition, Zoa infects, invades, and becomes a virus to canonical and popular works in order to re-centre Two-Spirit livelihoods. They dazzlingly and fiercely take on the likes of Edmund Spenser, Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, and John Milton while also not forgetting contemporary pop culture figures such as Lana Del Rey, Grindr, and Peter Pan. 2017.Par Cara-Lyn Morgan. 2017

the contemporary scene remains unblunted even as the poet has become more involved with the everyday, more private, more self-revealing. 1980.Par Billeh Nickerson. 2012

snapshots. Based on historical research the author conducted in Belfast and his birthplace of Halifax, the poems document not only the history behind the ship's construction, but what life must have been like for those aboard her maiden voyage and in the years following her sinking. c2012.Par Jean Little. 2003

loss, pain and death are intertwined with her clear, close up representation of the natural world. She examines and observes fear, anger and sadness between the sexes, and the awareness of mortality.

of text found in western novels published between 1840 and 1950 - the heyday of pulp publishing and a period of unfettered colonialism in North America – he uses erasure, pastiche, and a focused poetics to create a visually striking response to the western genre. 2016. Uniform title: Poems.Par Liz Howard. 2015
The mechanisms we use to make sense of our worlds – even our direct intimate experiences of it – come…
under constant scrutiny and a pressure that feels like love. The waters of Northern Ontario shield country are the toxic origin and an image of potential. A subject, a woman, a consumer, a polluter; an erotic force, a confused brilliance, a very necessary form of urgency – all are loosely tethered together and made somehow to resonate with our own devotions and fears; made “to be small and dreaming parallel / to ceremony and decay.” Winner of the 2016 Griffin Poetry Prize. 2015. Uniform title: Poems.Par Dorothy Roberts. 1991
Roberts presents her seventh collection of poetry. In the first section of poems, Roberts uses images of sunlight and shadows…
to describe life which is restricted but not limited by age. In other sections, Roberts uses a similar tone to describe events earlier in her life, such as living in England during wartime. Strong language. c1991.Par Linda Granfield, John McCrae. 1996

entire stretch of being, exploring the physical, the sexual and the spiritual. There is something memoir-ish, even “confessional” in her first-person poems, carved as a combination between lyric essay, storytelling and myth. These poems revel in the phrase and fragment, held together as a single, extended book-length declaration of story, personality and theatre; a declaration of standing firm, resisting when required, and being attentive to whatever might come. This is an open-hearted, no nonsense collection of hefty, articulate, funny and sensual poems. 2017.Par Stevie Howell. 2018
Poems of stringent aesthetic demands and volcanic emotional release. Bewildering in their linguistic beauty, they verge on prayer in their…
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. Uniform title: Poems.Par Shane Book. 2014
"Congotronic" takes the reader into unstable territory, where multiple layers of voice, diction, and music collide. Some of these poems…
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.
