Something I'M Supposed To Remember

by Holly Kritsch

38,36€ + 10% CARD

 Something I''m Supposed to Remember is the first title in the Harbinger Poetry Series. This fine collection of gritty, thought-provoking works is written with the wisdom and sensitivity of a writer who knows of what she speaks. Holly Kritsch has a knack for drawing the reader "in" with such detail that one experiences the smells, visions, and textures of her words. Capturing the essence and voice of a child with accuracy and honesty, her early childhood writings stir, inspire, and awaken the child within us all. In poems drawn both from her rural Nova Scotia childhood and from her professional life, Holly Kritsch evokes with precision, directness and wit, areas of wry darkness behind the everyday.

Landing

by Mark Sinnett

96,71€ + 10% CARD

 The poems in The Landing, Sinnett''s first collection, reflect on a life divided in two by a move from England to Canada. Ontario''s glacial landscape is the backdrop for a darkly humorous, often unsettling look at the nature of love and commitment at the end of the twentieth century. This is a time when lurid close-ups of brain surgery are beamed into the home; when the sight of a woman pulling on her wool sweater drives a man mad; when a bored lover considers digging an escape tunnel through the backyard ...

Treading Fast Rivers

by Eleonore Schonmaier

18,54€ + 10% CARD

 This collection of linked poems takes us on a journey where angels ride bicycles, wounds both grieve and heal, and "our will / diving through the shuddering / wet world, carries us." Resonant with "a longing so ardent and spacious," these are poems of place and displacement, sickness and health. A poet of striking maturity, Eleonore Schonmaier writes of icy depths and serene pools with equal ease. Unflinching when charting the terrains of human nature and the natural wilderness, she travels to such far-flung landscapes as Crete and Portugal, and the watery depths of the Sargasso Sea. Closer to home she looks beneath the surface of Northern mining communities and explores an abandoned lighthouse on the Atlantic coast.

First Crack

by Craig Poile

18,54€ + 10% CARD

 This collection comes from an alternate world of poetry running close beside our own, one which is always chugging away at shaping meaning and adding substance to our feelings. These poems are usually a study in near-solitude: domestic scenes, Michelangelo's Last Judgement, the myths of Egypt, skaters on the Rideau Canal. The poems don't so much tackle as trip over something like the truth, capturing the moment that brings together art and the observer, history and modern life, fact and fiction. The result is occasional rhyme and traditional forms, snatches of conversation, tiny dramas, painted moments, and an unflagging faith in language and its ability to give us everything we need to learn and know.

Last Child To Come Inside

by M. Desbarats

96,71€ + 10% CARD

 These are poignant, at times strangely quirky entries into a world filled with sharpness, the sense of imminent danger, and a sensual urge that seems to sweep all danger before it. the border between exterior and interior life is diffuse. One can find oneself in unexpected places. Two little girls in yellow dresses who are never seen again, Jesus and Elvis vacationing in Bermuda, a town after the fair has gone, women showering after a swim, Picasso becoming a red velvet dress: these are just a few of the images conjured in Michelle's first collection. There is also the expressed silence of what is not known, nor brought to light a darkness that this poet loves and that has often been the reason why she is the last child to come inside.
