About the Book
A Long Continual Argument is the comprehensive statement of an acknowledged poetic master craftsman. It includes all the poems John Newlove chose for his previous Selected Poems with substantial additions from all his major collections. All of his later poetry has been included, as well as integral, critically-acclaimed works such as the long poem Notes From And Among the Wars, and many of the cynically lyric poems that established his early reputation as a black romantic. |

About the Book
The pieces that make up Anne Le Dressay's second poetry collection, Old Winter, are urban poems grounded in the rural past. Understated, direct, ironic, quietly humorous, they reveal a love of the particular, of small daily things which feel more and more fragile in a world overshadowed by big threats. |

About the Book
Excerpt from Introduction, by Barry McKinnon: If sex is the subject, where begin? What occasion within the subject''s range prompts a poet to write? This may be what the literary snoop wants to know but need not know. The poem becomes evidence of its own detail / energy and in some instances, evidence of the poet''s struggle and inability to get to "it". |

About the Book
With the response to Decalogue: ten Ottawa poets (2006), we decided to follow up with Decalogue 2: ten Ottawa fiction writers. The ten authors that make up this collection highlight both the range of style and the strength of writing happening around the current City of Ottawa, ranging from roughneck prose to lyric exploration to a more straightforward kind of narrative storytelling. These are not stories for the faint of heart. |

Everything is Movies

ISBN
978-0-9781601-7-3 |
|
About the Book
Was it a manufactured hologram or the fog rising from a lake? In Nicholas Lea’s first collection of poetry, the question coalesces in an obvious yearning toward Surrealism and a supreme interest in aesthetics. Everything is movies wrestles with the myth-making of mass culture and high art but the collection – accidentally? – rolls off the bed and onto the floor, a heap of laughing limbs. |
