Book Description
Delving into her traumatic past with intense, thoughtful, free-ranging and sometimes classic, poetic verse, Danielle Sainte-Marie lays bare the deepest, darkest parts of her soul in this timeless collection that, she says, is "Just the tip of the iceberg of my pain...there's a lot more to come." If you are queasy, easily offended, or not ready to face your own fears and traumas, do not buy this poetry book! It is only intended for a select crowd of those rare few whom embrace the dark in order to bask in the light. ""Feelings unexplored and unexpressed largely create your viewpoint of the world; if you are not keeping your feelings current by expressing them when they arise, then that means you are never living in the moment. Rather, you are living in a world where your feelings are always trying to catch up to your current reality; thus, you live in past hurts that were not revealed in a timely manner.""

Book Description
What is the silent syllable? The silent syllable is the silence that allows each new letter, word, or sentence to come into being. It is the invisible support to the visible world. In Buddhism, the monks that chant ""Aum"" recognize the silence at the end as a necessary part of the word, or chant, to bring about the next Aum. The silence is integral, and thus, part of the word. It is just hidden to those uninitiated in such Oriental philosophies. This book of poetry seeks to find the hidden things in our lives that often go unrepresented or unnoticed, and to initiate the reader into them. And then, hopefully, the reader will find that hidden place within that supports all that they truly are, and all they have ever been.

Book Description
Leslie Scalapino is widely regarded as one of the best avant-garde writers in America today. This extraordinary new book is essay-fiction-poetry, an experiment in form, "a serial novel for publication in the newspaper" that collapses the distinction between documentary and fiction. Loosely set in Los Angeles, the book scrutinizes our image-making, producing extreme and vivid images-hyena, Muscle Beach in Venice, the Supreme Court, subway rides-in order for them to be real. Countering contemporary trends toward interiority, Scalapino's work constitutes a unique effort to "be" objectively in the world. The writing is an action, a dynamic push to make intimacy in the public realm. She does not distinguish between poetry and "real events": her writing is analogous to Buddhist notions of dreaming one is a butterfly, and becoming aware that actually being the butterfly is as real as dreaming it.

Book Description
With comic brilliance and a delight in the macabre, Michel Basilières holds a fun-house mirror up to a defining moment in Canadian history and reveals, among other things, a family having a very bad year. Holed up in a shambling house at the base of Mount Royal is the family Desouche: three generations of English- and French-Canadians caught in the gears of a national emergency. Their world is dark and hard, but alive with hope and expectation. When one of the eldest, an Anglo Montrealer, dies at the hand of one of the youngest, a militant separatist, so begins a year of turmoil and change that culminates in the October Crisis. Grave-robbing Grandfather consorts with prostitutes and mad scientists, loses an eye and gains a new vision. His disenchanted wife bonds with his canny pet crow. Mother sleeps her grief away through the seasons, while Father ineffectively schemes to get rich quick. Meanwhile, their twin children, Marie and Jean-Baptiste, find their personal ambitions clashing with their public actions as they derail each other at every turn. In this wholly original novel alive with misfortune and magic, Michel Basilières uncovers a Montreal not seen in any other English-Canadian novel: a forgotten blue-collar neighbourhood in between the two solitudes. Gothic, outrageous, yet tender and wise, Black Bird is as liberating as the dreams of its wayward characters, and as gripping as the insurgencies that split its heart.

Book Description
THE BLOODY ROAD TO DEATH depicts all the savagery of war punctuated with black humour, as Tiny, Porta and the rest of the men advance across Europe. The Russian Officer falls forward and I sink my teeth into his throat. Blood runs down over my face but I don't notice it. I am fighting for my life. The 27th Penal Regiment are veterans of the frontline. But when Hitler's war takes them through Greece, Yugoslavia and Albania, they are entirely unprepared for what awaits them. And when the water rations run out, they are willing to commit murder just for a drink.
