This selection of poems by a new author was triggered by the tragic death of his 28-year-old daughter. So the collection begins with loss and the aftermath of loss: the hope of the author that his daughter and he may be reunited in the life to come. This hope underlies many of the poems. This is clearly articulated in 'Osler and Son', where a father grieves for loss of his son in World War I but in a stoical, unexpressed manner.

Trauma is never something easy to deal with. Trauma can also take many forms. During my teenage years, the biggest trauma took the form of death. The loss of a very prominent figure in my life, my band teacher, who was like a second father to me, sent me into a downward spiral of depression. My salvation was my family, friends, and a creative outlet, poetry. I took the deepest and darkest thoughts that swirled around in my head and molded them into...

Chaque texte révèle un message, une émotion. Choisissez un texte au hasard et regardez ce qu'il vous fait remonter en vous. Un jour un ami m'a donné une phrase.

Six mois plus tard, après ma deuxième tentative de suicide, au plus profond de mes ténèbres, cette petite phrase est remontée à...

Griffin Poetry Prize finalist Sandra Ridley offers a breathtaking, harrowing immersion in cruelty behind different veils: the medieval hunt, ecological collapse, and intimate partner violence.
Sparked by a haunting chance encounter with a fox, and told in six chapters of varying form, Vixen is as visceral as it is mysterious, sensuous as it is terrifying.
"Thicket" introduces us to stalking being akin to hunting; the similar threat of terror and-too...

I've written this book to share with you
My journey and my life.
I've had some cool adventures,
I've thought about them twice.
This is my second novel
In poetry and verse,
I have no education
But I could be doing worse.
I tell some sexy stories
About working in the trade.
Sex sells they say and that is true,
But honesty can pay
This story deals with mortality
Someone very dear
A friend of mine who shared with me
Things that he held...

To Make Room for the Sea reckons with the notion that nothing in this world is permanent. Led by an introspective speaker, these poems examine a landscape that resists full focus, and conclude that "it's easier to love what we don't know."
"I hold this leaf I think / you should see, but I can't quite / say why," Adam Clay writes, as he navigates a variety of both personal and ecological fixations: disembodied bullfrog croaks, the growth of his child,...

The trumpet of doom will blow announcing the end of the world. When the Trumpet Is Blown is about the contemplation of death and the calling for total and utter destruction in the face of despair. It balances nature as an entity both deceptively seductive and honestly destructive. When everything ends, meaning dissolves, hope dies, and everything physical disintegrates leaving in its wake debris and chaos. In the bleak aftermath of loss, a poet desperately...

The work is full of what I might call sorrowful joy. Ms. Norris observes life so closely and opens ordinary moments into what I can only call the divine realms. Truly, as much as any collection I've ever read, this group of poems makes me want to write poetry myself,...
