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

    OverviewLife is full of Exits and Entrances... Some are beautiful, and some are bewildering. We may face circumstances that are beyond our control. What matters is how we choose to walk through them when they come. Follow Annalise and Oliver through many Exits & Entrances.1982She was determined to drive west until she found at least a sliver of blue sky. The persistent rain had decaffeinated everything. From the sky itself, to her hazel eyes that held nothing but a hollow gaze, the energy had long since been drained from it all. She was aware of the gray blanket that was weighing everything down, and knew she needed to be intentional about finding the sun today. Long drives could be good for the soul, and today was the day she would indulge in one.2022A full head of curly gray, unruly hair, lay against his left elbow that had sunk onto the top of the grand piano hours ago. His long, knotted fingers stretched out over the ivory keys that awaited his masterful touch. He'd not been able to leave behind the keys and the bench, not even for a beckoning night of sleep. This was the place where he'd spent so many beautiful hours with the love of his life.

    The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives.  Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives. 
    But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
    In this volume we explore poets of such fame and ability that, set against, arguably the most chaotic of centuries, poetry rises to yet new heights in its exploration and dissection of society and the human condition.

    "Two souls, alas! are dwelling in my breast; and one is striving to forsake its brother."
    
    Dr. Faust is a brilliant scholar who has reached the limits of human knowledge, yet remains profoundly dissatisfied. In his thirst for infinite experience and absolute truth, he strikes a daring wager with the demon Mephistopheles: if the devil can provide a moment of such perfect bliss that Faust wishes it to never end, the devil may claim his soul. What follows is a cosmic journey through the heights of passion, the depths of despair, and the very foundations of Western civilization.
    
    From Personal Tragedy to Global Myth: In Part One, experience the intimate, heartbreaking "Gretchen Tragedy," where Faust's pursuit of earthly pleasure leads to the destruction of an innocent woman. In Part Two, the scope expands into a surreal, phantasmagoric exploration of history, politics, and classical mythology, as Faust seeks to find his place in the broader world.
    
    The Height of German Romanticism: Goethe's Faust is more than a play; it is a "World Poem" that captures the restlessness of the modern spirit. It explores the dangerous allure of progress and the redemptive power of the "Eternal Feminine." With its rich symbolism and breathtaking verse, it remains the ultimate exploration of the human condition—asking if a soul that never stops striving can ever truly be lost.
    
    Witness the wager that defined an era. Purchase "Faust" today and journey to the edge of heaven and hell.

    The Comedy of Errors

    Mistaken identity (which the Elizabethans called “Error”) is nearly always amusing, whether on the stage or in actual life. The Comedy of Errors is a play in which this situation is developed to the extreme of improbability – but we lose sight of this improbability in the roaring fun which results. Nowadays we should call a play of this type a farce, since most of the fun comes from situations which are improbable and the play depends on these for success, rather than on characterization or dialogue. Shakespeare’s Comedy of Errors draws on a much older play, Menaechmi, written by the ancient Roman playwright Plautus (254–184 B.C.).A merchant of Syracuse has twin sons and buys twin servants for them. His wife, with one twin and one servant, is soon separated from him by a shipwreck, and comes to live in Ephesus. When grown, the other son and his slave start out to find their brothers, and the father, some years later, starts out in turn to find them. Once in Ephesus, an amusing series of errors begins. The wife takes the wrong twin for her husband, the master beats the wrong slave, the wrong son disowns his father, the twin at Ephesus is arrested instead of his brother, and the twin slave Dromio of Syracuse is claimed as a husband by a black kitchen girl of Ephesus. The situation gets more and more mixed, until at last the real identity of the strangers from Syracuse is established, and all ends happily. 
    Featuring the voices of Susan Iannucci, Gary MacFadden, David Shears, Dara Brown, Blaise Doran, Aisling Gray, Claudia Anglade, Kendra Murray and P.J. Morgan
