Book excerpt: In A Serious Call, Governor General’s Award-winner Don Coles presents a collection of moments suspended in time: a line of poetry, forgotten for years and remembered as often; a photograph cut out of a 1942 newspaper that saves its subjects not from death but from oblivion; a fond memory of a bookshop in Southwark, where books feed a love of literature and a life-long friendship. In a deceptively plainspoken style enhanced by his signature precision, Coles’s contemplation of everyday moments and objects reveals not only the power of memory, but also the innermost fears and longings of the human spirit.

Book excerpt: "For those looking for a smart, no-bullshit, effective guide to finding love, look no further."—Esther Perel, author of Mating in Captivity "While I’m not sure what Carrie Bradshaw would have made of today’s new world of dating, I do know this: armed with Love Rules, she would have figured it all out in one season."—Sarah Jessica Parker SHERYL SANDBERG EMPOWERED WOMEN TO LEAN IN ARIANNA HUFFINGTON ENCOURAGED THEM TO THRIVE NOW, JOANNA COLES GUIDES THEM ON THEIR MOST IMPORTANT JOURNEY: FINDING LOVE Just as there is junk food, there is junk love. And like junk food, junk love is fast, convenient, attractively packaged, widely available, superficially tasty—and leaves you hungering for more. And both junk food and junk love require enormous amounts of willpower to resist. Social media and online dating sites have become the supermarkets of our relationship lives. You have to wade through rows of cupcakes and potato chips to find the produce aisle, where those relationships grounded in intimacy and trust live—the ones worth your investment. A diet book for romantic relationships, Love Rules first asks women to re-assess the way they think about their relationships, and then helps them use that newfound awareness to navigate their love lives more successfully in this very modern, fast-paced—and often lonely—digital age. In these pages leading media exec and former Editor in Chief of Cosmopolitan and Marie Claire Joanna Coles provides a series of simple guidelines for finding worthwhile love: fifteen rules—love "hacks." She also explains how to use dating apps effectively to expand real world connections and how to avoid DADD—dating attention—deficit disorder, where the tantalizing promise of someone better appears to be only the next swipe away. Love Rules will enable you to identify what you want in a relationship, when you should pursue it, and how to find it.

Download or read book Forests of the Medieval World written by Don Coles and published by Erin, Ont. : Porcupine's Quill. This book was released on 1993 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don Coles has earned a reputation as one of Canada's finest contemporary poets with books such as "The Prinzhorn Collection" and "Little Bird." In his new poetry collection, "Forests of the Medieval World," he explores the power of memory. Shadowy figures from the past -- a woman in a car, a child at the seashore, a father's college basketball teammates -- float through the poems of the book's first section. A modern tale of love is intertwined with an account of the destruction of Europe's medieval forests. The poet recalls the baseball games and adventure books of his boyhood; he dreams of what death would be like for Cambridge University's Wren Library; and he listens to long-dead fathers' giving counsel to their troubled daughters' in a nursing home. Rounding out the volume is a haunting sequence of poems about the private world of Norwegian painter Edvard Munch. The Edvard Munch Poems' were inspired by Coles's reading of Munch's diaries, which are still largely untranslated. Best known for his famous work The Cry, ' Munch was a lonely and painfully sensitive man. He returned obsessively in his paintings to the pivotal events of his early life: the deaths of his mother and his beloved sister, Sophie, and his adolescent affair with a married woman, the mysterious Fru H.' The departure point for each of these poems is one of Munch's paintings and most are offered in the voice of the artist himself. Coles, whose collection "K. in Love" explored the inner thoughts of writer Franz Kafka, is a master at suggesting character through the nuances of poetic expression.

Download or read book Kurgan written by Don Coles and published by The Porcupine's Quill. This book was released on 2000 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `Most of all, it is Coles's mastery of syntax, sinuous and unpredictable, that brings his poems alive. The trademark hesitations, asides and parentheses that mark his lines derive from speech (a Hemingway wife is ``one of the specialty, I am/going to risk saying, dishes in the big man's/moveable feast'') and are all measured out and weighed in beautifully constructed sentences. They reflect, I will risk saying, a radical skepticism: ``Nothing/here doubts itself, from which it follows/there is not a hint of me here, '' he tells us. This doubt, perhaps Coles's most modern trait, runs through and enriches all of Kurgan (as it did his great book-length poem Little Bird) and places his poetry among the very best being written in English.' - Richard Sanger - Globe & Mai
Download or read book Where We Might Have Been written by Don Coles and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where We Might Have Been, Don Coles' first book of new poetry in a decade, provides everything we've come to expect from the Governor General Award-winning poet: exact observations sharply etched with unimprovable lines, simple moments crackling with psychological complexity and a plain-speaking sophistication entirely his own. But there is also something different in these poems: a canny, energized, improvisatory fluency newly alive to Coles' trademark stock-taking. Where We Might Have Been transforms family memories, old European haunts, and literary mementoes into tour de force reckonings of mortality. Rarely has Coles' self-scrutiny been so exposed and exciting.
