Download or read book The Robbie Burns Revival Other Stories written by Cecilia Kennedy and published by Broken Jaw Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Dancing Alone written by William Hawkins and published by Broken Jaw Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems in Dancing Alone are drawn from the six small-press classics, all out of print, that William Hawkins published between 1964 and 1974 plus some new poems. A contemporary of George Bowering, Victor Coleman and Michael Ondaatje, Hawkins appeared in Raymond Souster's landmark anthology New Wave Canada and in Oxford's Modern Canadian Verse, where editor A.J.M. Smith positioned him between Margaret Atwood and Gwendolyn MacEwen. Readers will discover in Hawkins' work an inimitably haunting poetic voice. Hawkins was also the central figure of a richly creative Ottawa-based music scene. His fugitive pickup bands included Bruce Cockburn, David Wiffen, Colleen Peterson, Amos Garrett, Darius Brubeck and Sneezy Waters. Hawkins calls himself "a semi-retired hard rocker and high roller."

Book excerpt: 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.
Download or read book Postcards from Ex lovers written by Jo-Anne Elder and published by Broken Jaw Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Download or read book Let Rest written by Serge Patrice Thibodeau and published by Broken Jaw Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover some of the great Canadian authors and titles you've been missing. This guide describes and organizes according to reading interests more than 500 of the best contemporary Canadian fiction titles available today. Canadian fiction offers a wealth of diverse pleasures to readers, from high-toned literary works to down-and-dirty genre fiction. However, apart from the big names and superstars, many of these authors are not well known outside of Canada. Designed to help readers' advisors in the United States, Canada, and other English-speaking countries make informed reading recommendations to their patrons, this guide provides readers' advisors and readers with an overview of Canadian fiction, covering more than 650 popular titles—mainstream and genre fiction— most published within the past decade. The guide categorizes mainstream titles according to primary appeal features (language, character, setting, and story), and identifies the secondary appeal when there is one. Genre fiction, covered in a separate section, is organized according to standard genres (fantasy, romance, etc.), with subdivisions for subgenres and themes. For each title bibliographic information and a brief annotation is provided. Subjects are listed, along with awards, and an indication of whether the title is appropriate for book groups. A read on section with references to some 2,400 titles, leads you to titles with similar features. Indexes cover author/title and subject (including awards, genre, series character names). An appendix contains information on Canadian Book Awards. A readers' advisory guide and reference tool, this book is also an important aid for collection development.
