"You're Gonna Love This tells the story of three entwined relationships: those between the narrator of the poem and her spouse, her television, and herself. A distinctly working-class long poem with a sharply nuanced media literacy, You're Gonna Love This explores how television and media culture's around-the-clock presence impacts our views of the world and our connection to it. At the same time, these poems consider caretaking and the narrator's journey as a caregiver, addressing the steps in her own mental-health journey with dark humour, wry cultural references, and deeply personal stories. You're gonna love You're Gonna Love This."--

"At once raw and skillful, painful and funny, personal and pervasive, the poems in Jump Scare dig deep into mental health, neurodivergence, grief, dreams, monstrosity, identity commodification, sexuality, pop culture, and queer consumer culture. This is a book that tackles isolation and loss head-on and thinks hard and with wry humour about how to position ourselves in this lonely, scary, compelling world."--

allostatic load navigates the racialized interplay of chronic wear and tear during tumultuous years marked by global racial tensions, an ongoing pandemic, the commodification of care, and the burden of systemic injustice. Moving between diaristic intimacy and the remove of news reportage, Désil's second poetry collection invites readers to hold the vulnerability and resilience required to navigate deep healing in a world that does not wish you well, in a world that is inflamed and consequently inflames us, in a world where true restoration and health must co-occur with the planet and with each other.

lettuce lettuce please go bad is an incantation and a plea for transformation. Using the idea of compost as composition - since the organic process of recycling leaves, words, or food scraps into valuable fertilizer enriches both soil and human life - the book draws on divination systems, herbal healing rituals, the cycles of the moon, experiences of stress and grief, and inherited and invented agricultural practices to tease out a poetics of rural embodied language. Situated at the moment when thought becomes image, lettuce lettuce please go bad expands on the author's personal history of familial migration and agrarian labour - picking, pruning, grafting, tending, planting - entangled in issues of colonization, land manipulation, ownership, extraction, and food production. In an effort to think through the ways vegetables, fruits, and other foods can stand in for complex situations and emotions, La Melia reconsiders how value is allotted and advocates a return to love to mitigate both personal and collective crises.

"An ambitious and wholly original poetry collection that examines how state violence is ever-present and often operates invisibly. In 2021, a year into the pandemic, the City of Toronto started demolishing plywood structures for houseless people at a time when COVID rates were exploding in homeless shelters. The media reporting on the incident didn't delve into the broader societal and historical contexts that give rise to houselessness. This real-life set of circumstances prompted Anna Lee-Popham to consider how AI technology might act as a tool to understand the news. What content would such an AI translator be fed? What form would the communication take? What would be the relationship between the AI translator and the human? In response to these questions, Empire of the Everyday examines (over two acts and five episodes) how state violence is ever-present and often operates invisibly. The "I" of the poems is the piece of AI machine technology that translates life in the city into a less linear language. The poems often address multiple individuals of various subjectivities ("you") to examine ways that life is confined and at times defined by the city. Powerful, thought-provoking, and devastating, Empire of the Everyday offers a new understanding of the current social and political moment."--

CBC Poetry Prize finalist and National Magazine Award honoree Faith Arkorful’s breathtaking, surpassingly thoughtful debut collection of poems.Hauntings form the canopy of The Seventh Town of Ghosts. These titular towns, centred in yesterdays, tomorrows, and the ongoing, lead to a special kind of singing: songs to the reader who wrestles with existence, the unsure peace within family, and the often-tense interdependence of life.Here, discernment is ever-present, guided by Faith Arkorful’s insights on not only the ravages of the state and the police upon the Black family and life at large, but also on a kaleidoscope of connections—sisterhood, daughterhood, kinship, solitude, death, romance—and how tenderness, chosen and repeated, can shield against life’s blows. These towns also enchant, shape-lifting through humour, irony, and the small refractions of language where Arkorful guides us through the fault lines and the undertow, in the form of fruit, island volcanoes, Formula 1, and the expansive hum of life.This poet-as-sojourner bears careful, caring witness, her attention reserved not only for her living and her dead but hyphenated two-fold by the fragile things and the lasting things. These poems remind us of what contours our mysterious and fleeting presence on Earth.

... La vapeur nous emporte rapidement vers le nord, et bientôt nous arrivons à la station de St-Maurice. Il y avait beaucoup de monde à la station, mais le compagnon de voyage que nous attendions en cet endroit, M. le chanoine J. Prince, ne s'y trouvait malheureusement pas. Le train des Piles avait changé ses heures de départ ce matin-là même, et M. Prince n'avait pas été averti du changement. Nous étions fort contrariés, car M. Prince est l'un des plus aimables compagnons de voyage que l'on puisse rencontrer. Monseieur chargeait quelqu'un de l'avertir de nous rejoindre à la Mékinac, lorsque nous vîmes sur la route de l'église, au milieu d'un nuage de poussière, une voiture qui venait à toute vitesse. C'était notre compagnon qui nous arrivait heureusement, et qui put prendre sa route avec nous...
