Synopsis

CBC BOOKS CANADIAN POETRY COLLECTIONS TO WATCH FOR IN SPRING 2023 
SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2024 TRILLIUM BOOK AWARD FOR POETRY 
Feminist poems both serious and absurd that question our obsession with productivity instead of with care. 
Continuity Errors questions the privileging of work and productivity over rest and care from an ecological and feminist perspective. Written before and immediately after the birth of her first child, these poems try to imagine the future her son will inherit. Encounters with an unusual cast of characters – including lonely cryptids, unrepentant grifters, and persistent ghosts – provide incomplete answers, and while the continuity errors keep multiplying around her, Wright pauses to consider whether our devotion to innovation is keeping us stuck. 
"Catriona Wright's Continuity Errors is a book of snaking moves and sneaking intellect, a book of style and fortitude and sass. Wright's always sharp and often eerie interrogations lead us through a world of cryptocurrency, grunt work, predictive policing, extinction, haute cuisine, billboard ads, smoke breaks, breast pumps; these are poems for our moment of onslaught and bewilderment that, having had the world forced down their throats, spit back." – Natalie Shapero, author of Popular Longing

    Twin girls. One grows up, has a full life packed with incident, only a few regrets. The other dies twenty minutes after being born.
    Both of them are here.
    James Fritz's short play twins was first performed at the Arcola Theatre, London, in November 2015 as part of the Miniaturists' 10th Birthday Bash.
    'Completely enthralling… a superb piece of writing that conveys the beauty and cruelty of life in a wonderful and completely non-sentimental way. A fabulous example of a short play at its best' - LondonTheatre1

    King of Scotland is an award-winning, dark comedy and a free adaptation of Gogol's A Diary of a Madman. 
    Long-term unemployed Tommy McMillan joins a government-funded retraining scheme, "Up the Ladder". Cited as a shining example of the government's employment policies and chosen for a media profile, Tommy is taken on by the Department of Upward Mobility. The department gets more than they bargained for; however, when they discover just how far up the ladder Tommy is expecting to go. 
    Featuring trouserless bankers, talking dogs, flying taxis, and a razor-sharp parody of the workings of politics, King of Scotland is an outrageous Fringe First-winning monologue. 
    About the author: Award-winning playwright Iain Heggie is one of Scotland's leading playwrights. His plays include the Mobil prize-winning play A Wholly Healthy Glasgow (1988) and the John Whiting Award-winning play American Bagpipes (1989). His other plays include An Experienced Woman Gives Advice, Don Juan, Love Freaks, and Wiping My Mother's Arse.
