Girls and Handsome Dogs

Girls and Handsome Dogs

Norm Sibum

Often comic, sometimes somber,
here are poems that offer a narrative
of the exotic and the ordinary,
the ridiculous and the sublime.

Mary-Lou Zeitoun

Trapped in the suburbs in 1980 - the era that straddled disco and punk - 13-year-old Marnie Harmon hates her life. She hates her Mom, hates disco, hates dumb boys, and hates school. And most of all she hates her Media Studies teacher, stupid Mr Carter. Her allies are few: Caroline the retard and Cindy the stripper. The one bright spot in Marnie's bleak existence is ex-Beatle John Lennon.

When Words Deny the World

When Words Deny the World

Stephen Henighan

When Words Deny the World is a compelling report from the front lines of Canadian writing. Engagingly written but highly controversial, `Words' joyfully slaughters the reputations of Timothy Findley, Barbara Gowdy, Anne Michaels, Carol Shields, Michael Ondaatje, the Giller Prize, and the Globe and Mail bestseller list.

Back Flip

Back Flip

Anne Denoon

It's 1967. London is Swinging, but New York still rules the art world. And in Toronto, the avant-garde Gonzaga Gallery is starting to attract attention as the city changes from a comfortable post-war backwater into a vital metropolis with a sudden hunger for sophistication.

Seasoning Fever

Seasoning Fever

Susan Kerslake

Young lovers in the mid-1800s set out to make a life on the American prairie. Kerslake's view is both innocent and phobic; she provides sustained, intense scrutiny of this young couple, the interior lives of whom are as rich and turbulent as is their new environment. The story is sexually charged, provocative and fresh, each experience a first.
