Peter Jailall | Yet Another Home: Poems | Gazelle Books

Posted by

0

These poems focus on Guyanese-Canadians no longer a new immigrant group, but a cultural group that has integrated into the Canadian mainstream. The poems address the settlement of seniors and their grandchildren in their new Canadian home. For the seniors and for the wider Canadian and Caribbean audience, the author re-entered the Guyanese culture back home to remind myself and my readers and listeners of both our new and old homes. The section “For the Young”” is suitable for all young Canadians who enjoy listening and reading poetry that talks about the emergence of a Canadian culture that always keeps renewing itself.

Erin Keane | The Gravity Soundtrack | Gazelle Books

0

As entertaining as it is compelling, “The Gravity Soundtrack” will please both frequent and new readers of poetry. In this debut collection Erin Keane explores subjects ranging from classic myth, philosophy and religion to rock ‘n’ roll, pop culture and children’s book characters. These poems are finely crafted, with a ‘confident and alert use of language’ (Greg Pape), and each one shows keen insight into what it means to be human. In “The Gravity Soundtrack”, the poet is not a voice from above passing truths down to the reader, but rather is right there with us in the muck and mire of human experience — all along showing great compassion for our questioning, our losses, our uncertainty.

Glenna Luschei | Total Immersion | Gazelle Books

0

This is a landmark collection of poems by the legendary literary activist, poet/editor Glenna Luschei. In her mature later poems, Glenna Luschei joyfully celebrates the organic cycle of life. People and landscapes reflect and parallel each other in their birth, growth, decline and death, but the poet opts for a life-affirming, maternal world-view. It takes more than mere life to discourage her pioneer spirit. Glenna Luschei, Ph.D. has been active in the small press for 40 years as a past president of COSMEP (Committee of Small Magazine Editors & Publishers), the publisher of Solo Café, as a teacher, as a translator and as a philanthropist to American literature.

Peter Johnson | Eudardo and ‘I’ | Gazelle Books

Posted by

0

A new collection of prose poems from the author of “Pretty Happy” and “Miracles and Mortifications”, the latter of which won the James Laughlin Award from the Academy of American Poets. This darkly comic book takes the reader on two separate but interrelated journeys. Eduardo is part alter ego and part cultural artefact, recalling Berryman’s character Henry from the “Dream Songs”.

John Leax | Tabloid News | Gazelle Books

One afternoon when poet John Leax was standing in a grocery store checkout queue, a tabloid news headline beckoned: ‘Leaping Turtles Invade US’. As he looked more closely at the accompanying image, two lines sprang into his imagination: Suppose one could believe the tabloid headlines; Suppose the stories under them were true; Leax later wrote that ‘true story’. Then he wrote another. And another. They are all collected in “Tabloid News”. As he wrote, Leax explored two linked impulses that he found in the tabloids: desire and fear. We desire connection to beings other than ourselves. Yet we fear what we do not know-what is alien or different from us. In poems like ‘Baby Born with Antlers’, ‘Dog Makes $60 Million Modelling’ and ‘Duck Hunters Shoot Angel’ Leax grapples with this conflict between desire and fear humorously, chillingly, poignantly and artfully. If you have ever been attracted — or repelled — by a tabloid news headline, these poems are for you. Continue reading →
