Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. During the heatwave of July 2017, Ariel Gordon spent two days sitting on the patio of downtown Winnipeg's Tallest Poppy, writing snippets of poems which she hung from the boulevard tree using paper and string. Passersby were invited to TreeTalk too - their secrets / one-liners / meditations… / haiku were also hung from the tree. By the end of the weekend, the elm had a second temporary canopy of leaves: 234 poems, 111 written by Gordon, 107 written by passersby, and 16 from other sources. Gordon has assembled all these voices into a long/found poem that asks: what does it mean to live in the urban forest? What does it mean to be in relationship with each other but also with the more-than-human? The book also includes pen and ink illustrations by Winnipeg artist Natalie Baird. Since 2017, Gordon has also hung poems in trees at the Sage Hill Poetry Experience in Muenster, SK, the Prairie Gate Literary Festival in Morris, MN, and at the Winnipeg Folk Festival as part of the Prairie Outdoor Exhibition.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. A bilingual collection of renga poetry by two of Canada's most celebrated poets in English and in French, each writing in his respective language in response to the other. A project of discourse itself, shared in dialogue between two poets, as they explore Novalis' definition of poetry as "…the truly absolute real." The poetic act is world-changing, the agglomeration of atoms as they fall through space - a sort of "elective affinity", or state of grace - to constitute Being. If Lao Tzu reminds us that the Dao that can be named is not the eternal Dao, this renga, suffused with elements of the natural world, also recognizes that, in the words of Angelus Silesius, ''the unnameable, which we usually call God, is expressed and revealed through the Word.'' Leveille and Bloggett share an unprecedented dialogue that possesses both paradox and complete clarity of word in Canada's two official languages. AUTHORS: J.R. Leveille has published over thirty books (novels, poetry, essays). He has a master's degree in French literature and worked as a journalist and producer at Radio-Canada until 2006. Leveille has directed portraits of authors for television, as well as special issues of literary journals. He was the long-time director of Les Editions du Ble and served as secretary of the Winnipeg International Writers Festival. His work has garnered numerous recognitions, foremost Manitoba's Arts Award of Distinction. In 2009, he was writer and lecturer in residence at the Universite de Rennes, France. E. D. Blodgett (Ex Nihilo - Poetry, author), Poet, literary critic, and translator of more than 20 collections of poetry and the winner of the 1996 Governor General's Award for his collection Apostrophes: Woman at a Piano. In 1999, Jacques Brault won the Governor-General's Award for Translation for Transfiguration (1998), a translation of Blodgett's poetry. Poet Laureate for the City of Edmonton (2007) and Professor Emeritus of Comparative Literature at the University of Alberta and also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Between February 2021 and March 2022, Ariel Gordon and Brenda Schmidt wrote a collaborative poetry manuscript, formatted like a call and response. Ariel intended to write about urban Manitoba, the city and its trees, and Brenda was to write about rural Saskatchewan and birds. Over the cours…e of the year, the matter of place took over and the intentions branched and flew apart. They both wrote birds and trees but also moose and mushrooms, pronghorns and wild turkeys, and people making their way through it all. They wrote climate as it was manifested in drought-stressed trees and stunted crops covered in grasshoppers, in wildfires and wildfire smoke hanging over the prairies. They wrote home as they found it. AUTHORS: Brenda Schmidt was the seventh Saskatchewan Poet Laureate. Author of five books of poetry and a book of essays, her work has been nominated for a number of Saskatchewan Book Awards over the years, received the Alfred G. Bailey Prize for Poetry, and is included in The Best of the Best Canadian Poetry in English: Tenth Anniversary Edition. She now lives on the dry side of a hill in central west Saskatchewan where she's exploring the art of xeriscaping. Ariel Gordon is a Winnipeg-based author of two collections of urban-nature poetry, both of which won the Lansdowne Prize for Poetry. Gordon also co-edited the anthology GUSH: menstrual manifestos for our times (Frontenac House, 2018) and is the ringleader of the National Poetry Month in the Winnipeg Free Press project.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. It's a little after the middle of the 21st century. Loving couple Elspeth and Marybeth are both shocked and excited when a stroller with identical twins is left on their back deck with a recorded message that warns them not to try to return the babies or they could face arrest for kidnappin…g. Using false starts, footnotes, direct approaches to the reader, lists, questions about who the author(s) might be, and even a dose of self-criticism, the story unwinds from that point as El and Mar work hard to create a family under the circumstances. This becomes even more difficult when they discover the babies come with unusual features that perhaps might explain why they were left in the first place. And it all takes place in a disintegrating world that may leave humans incapable of telling their own stories. AUTHOR: Michael Mirolla's publications include a novella, The Last News Vendor, winner of the 2020 Hamilton Literary Award for fiction, as well as three Bressani Prizes: the novel Berlin (2010); the poetry collection The House on 14th Avenue (2014); and the short story collection Lessons in Relationship Dyads (2016). His latest poetry collection, At the End of the World, was short-listed for the 2022 Hamilton Literary Award.

A symposium on Michael's writing was held in Toronto on May 25, 2023. In September of 2023, Michael took part in a writers' residency in Olot, Catalonia where he completed the latest draft of his novella, How About This ? In the summer of 2024, Michael will take part in a one-month writers' residency in Barcelona where he hopes to tackle a new draft of The Second Law. When not busy writing, Michael helps run Guernica Editions, a Canadian independent literary publishing house. Born in Italy and raised in Montreal, Michael now makes his home outside the town of Gananoque in the Thousand Islands area of Ontario. It's a little after the middle of the 21st century. Loving couple Elspeth and Marybeth are both shocked and excited when a stroller with identical twins is left on their back deck with a recorded message that warns them not to try to return the babies or they could face arrest for kidnapping.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Western Frontier is arguably one of the most widely misrepresented histories, rife with inaccuracies and stereotypes. Author Tristan Jones (who identifies as both Black and Indigenous) powerfully and critically reimagines a historical retelling of the Frontier through the lens of Truth…and Reconciliation. With a focus on the historically missing Indigenous narrative, Jones manages the enormous feat of creating a link to the past while imagining a path forward for the future. Lavishly illustrated by master sequential artist Alexander Bumbulut, this new title is poised to revolutionize the graphic novel medium. AUTHOR: Tristan Jones is a classically trained writer and life long comics fan. He was born in Toronto, Canada, and is a multiracial Indigenous person of Black Mi'kmaq heritage and Anishinaabe ancestry. Having obtained a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in English Literature from Toronto Metropolitan University, he excelled in his creative writing classes. Out of a desire to study and write about Indigenous culture, he chose to focus his efforts on re-contextualizing the American western genre with his debut work, "The Forgotten Frontier." Alexander Bumbulut is an illustrator, painter and graphic designer. Coming from a Hungarian family living in Romania, he immigrated to Germany at the age of 13. Alexander spent much of his time drawing and reading comic books. He received a Bachelor of Arts in Design from Georg-Simon-Ohm University.

He then started work on the graphic novel "The Forgotten Frontier." He currently resides in Nuremberg, Germany, and enjoys staying up way too late to draw pages.
