A four-time Governor General’s-award nominee for both poetry and non-fiction, Christopher Dewdney is celebrated internationally as a writer and a visionary and is best known for his particular imagining of place and memory. Beginning with Paleozoic fossil formations in southwestern Ontario and moving through eons of natural history to cityscapes and the digital present, Dewdney’s poetics encapsulate often surreal experiences from radical and epiphenomenal perspectives. His writing vibrates in a standing wave between science and art, reason and myth—embedding geology, neurophysiology, linguistics, and post-digital technology within a play of transitory viewpoints. Children of the Outer Dark provides a geological survey of Dewdney’s poetic strata. The poems selected, along with their order of presentation, serve a critical function to mine diverse layers of development in Dewdney’s career. This collection will reward all those who seek inspiration and will provide teachers, students, and other writers with a short natural history of one of Canadas essential poetic minds.

In Sunday Houses the Sunday House, Elizabeth Hughey embraces the possibility that we can learn as much from objects as we can from other people, from the inanimate as much as the animate.

Sunday Houses the Sunday House reveals what the world is like when your attention is focused elsewhere, when your head is turned the other way.

If everyone decided to call themselves a girl / that word would stop." In this award-winning volume of authoritative and assertive poems, Sarah Vap embarks on an emotional journey to the land of America's female children. Questioning, contradicting, radically and restlessly demanding acceptance, she searches for a way to move from serious girlhood to womanly love. Demonstrating the seriousness of female childhood-which is as dangerous and profound as war, economics, and history, that is, as manhood, in her view-Vap reveals the extremes of self-doubt and self-righteousness inherent in being a c

Complex Sleep, Tony Tost's ambitious second book of poems, leaps upward with an astounding multiplicity of voices, utterances, and bursts. Each leap marks a sure and precise entry into a world of images, ideas, and sensations that is brand new-the true accomplishment of any poetic work. The octet of poems that compose Complex Sleep comprises a complex organism, audacious in scope, swiping at meaning via language as fragmented music. Tost takes on the problem of physical shape, reorchestrates phrases according to the alphabet, and writes himself into the hypnagogic

Fraai uitgegeven biografie van de Poolse dichteres Wislawa Szymborska, die in 1996 de Nobelprijs literatuur ontving. Voor die datum was ze in het westen nagenoeg onbekend. Naast het schrijven van voornamelijk gedichten uit Szymborska haar creativiteit ook in het maken van humoristische collages, waaruit haar fascinatie voor kitsch en curiosa blijkt. Enkele zijn als illustratie in de biografie opgenomen.

Deze bundel met autobiografische geschriften is gebaseerd op vier schriftjes met aantekeningen die Marguerite Duras tussen 1943 en 1949 maakte, haar zogenaamde '4 cahiers de la guerre'. Vanuit literair oogpunt zijn ze belangrijk omdat ze het begin van de schrijverscarrière van Duras ontsluiten, en reeds ruwe schetsen bevatten van romans in wording.
