Book Description
These linked short stories tell the tales of Tony Aardehuis, a young Ontario police officer who centres more on the human puzzle than on crime and detection. Fraud, theft, blackmail: every small town crime short of murder drives these stories to conclusions that usually warm the heart. Along the way Tony struggles, like the rest of us, to figure it all out. The first Tony Aardehuis story was inspired by the Eastern Ontario ice storm of 1998 and the suggestion that natural disaster might double as a murder weapon. This constable meets life with a fine blend of curiosity, compassion and an occasional bent for bending the rules. Tony Aardehuis's adventures have been published in The Grist Mill, Bone Dance, and Storyteller Magazine, where he twice won The Great Canadian Story Contest. One story is also shortlisted for a 2003 Arthur Ellis Award.

Book Description
Impossible Landscapes includes recent works plus selections from earlier volumes. The book has four sections: Impossible Landscapes; the saga of the semi-mythical Guerrero; Other Landscapes; and Border Crossings, which voyages widely in time and space. A living descendent of the Imagists, Steele avoids decoration and abstraction. The landscapes are as much mental as physical, and always there is someone or something missing in them.

Book Description
Noted for its musicality and its ample, expansive lyricism, Acadian poet Serge Patrice Thibodeau's poetry reveals a new dimension in this collection. These lines of poetry are murmured, practically whispered, the stanza making use of the ellipsis. The angry, melancholic, and tormented tone seen in the poet's previous work gives way to the desire to convey poetry freed from revolt, sadness, and indignation. What results is a mitigated tension that strives for joy and is serene rather than impassioned, one emanating from rest: rest of the body, the mind, the soul, and especially of the heart. Let Rest is a translation of Que repose (Perce-Neige, 2004), Thibodeau's eleventh book of poetry. In praise of his award-winning book Le Quatuor de l'errance, the Canada Council for the Arts wrote: "In pure, beautiful language that is rich in imagery and words, Serge Patrice Thibodeau has penned an inspired song that marks him as one of the important poets of our time."

Book Description
Winner of the inaugural David Adams Richards Prize, Postcards from Ex-Lovers is a collection of flash fiction from the lives of women who need to move on. The stories pull apart the cliches passed between lovers, catch bits of gossip from cafes across the street from a historical monument, and replay old refrains. Offering an edgy but not-quite-jaded look at relationships at the turn of the new century, Jo-Anne Elder gives postcard stories a woman's voice and introduces business card fiction.
