then/again

by Michelle Elrick ...

Michelle Elrick's then/again is a poetic account of finding home, and the meanings and moments that the concept of home can come to embody. The collection tracks the poet through a landscape of intimate places—an ancestral home in Scotland, a mother's birthplace in Salzburg, a childhood home on the West Coast—as well as the memory-warped terrain of the poet's past houses.

Light Between the Lines

by Gordon Llyod Jones ...

Sometimes the Good News arrives one rhyme at a time.You feel the tug. Maybe it comes at 3:30 in the morning, or while passing a stranger on the street, or during a sermon that suddenly hits different. You sense there is something more between the ordinary lines of your days, something sacred waiting to be noticed. Yet the noise of the world keeps drowning it out.Light Between the Lines is a ...

To the Barricades

by Stephen Collis ...

In To the Barricades we move back and forth between historical and contemporary scenes of revolt, from nineteenth-century Parisian street barricades to twenty-first-century occupations and street marches, shifting along the active seam between poetry and revolution. At once elegy (poems dedicated “to” past revolutionary figures and scenes) and a call for renewed struggle in the here and now, this ... Read more

The Wrong Cat

by Lorna Crozier ...

Like the people and animals in her new collection, Lorna Crozier “defies / the anecdotal, / goes for the lyric, / music made from / bone and muscle and the grace notes” of life. The poems in The Wrong Cat are vintage Crozier: sly, sexy, irreverent, and sad, and populated by fully realized characters whose stories take place in a small lyrical space.

a thin line between

by Wanda Praamsma ...

In what can be described as a verse-novel for its lyricism and rhythmic structure, Wanda Praamsma crafts a story that transcends geographic boundaries and time periods, by weaving together lives from her own family's past, including her poet-grandfather and sculptor-uncle. Subtle in its life lessons, a thin line between works at 'peeling away the I's' to explore concepts of self and family in ... Read more
