Sinopsis

Duncan Campbell Scott's "Labor and the Angel" is a profound exploration of the intersection between human labor and the ethereal aspects of existence, woven through poetry that resonates with emotional depth and philosophical inquiry. The narrative reflects modernist sensibilities, engaging with themes of identity, mortality, and the search for meaning in a rapidly industrializing world. Scott employs vivid imagery and resonant symbolism, creating a work that simultaneously acknowledges the materialist concerns of the time while also reaching into the transcendental, inviting readers to ponder the dualities of the human condition. Scott, a prominent figure in Canadian literature and a notable poet, drew upon his own experiences in both the literary and bureaucratic realms, infusing his work with insights garnered from his roles in the civil service and as a literary critic. His background, marked by an appreciation for both the cultural complexities of Canada and the nuances of human labor, profoundly influenced his writing, resulting in a contemplative text that challenges readers to consider the value of labor in the spiritual dimension of life. "Labor and the Angel" is a must-read for anyone interested in the intricate interplay between work, spirituality, and the human experience. It speaks to those seeking not only to understand the social constructs of their time but also to reflect on their own existence within these frameworks. Scott's eloquent prose invites readers to engage deeply with the material, making it an essential addition to any literary collection.

    The award-winning, genre-crossing writer demonstrates her power as a funkadelic and formidable feminist voice in this rich and beautiful collection of verse and image—a multi-part retrospective that traverses time, space, and reality to illuminate the expansiveness of Black femme lives. 
    Voted one of the Best Books of 2023 by the New York Public Library. 
    Side Notes from the Archivist is a preservation of Black culture viewed through a feminist lens. The Archivist leads readers through poems that epitomize youthful renditions of a Black girl coming of age in Philadelphia’s pre-funk ’80s; episodic adventures of “the Black Girl” whose life is depicted through the white gaze; and selections of verse evincing affection for self and testimony to the magnificence within Black femme culture at-large. 
    Every poem in Side Notes elevates and honestly illustrates the buoyancy of Blackness and the calamity of Black lives on earth. In her uniquely embracing and experimental style, Anastacia-Reneé documents these truths as celebrations of diverse subjects, from Solid Gold to halal hotdogs; as homages and reflections on iconic images, from Marsha P. Johnson to Aunt Jemima; and as critiques of systemic oppression forcing some to countdown their last heartbeat. 
    From internet “Fame” to the toxicity of the white gaze, Side Notes from the Archivist cements Anastacia-Reneé role as a leading light in the womanist movement—an artist whose work is in conversation with advocates of Black culture and thought such as Audre Lorde, Amiri Baraka, and Nikki Giovanni.

    Night Lunch is a shapeshifting sonnet sequence set in the cold waters off the North Coast of Labrador. Reflecting Chaulk’s own experience, the speaker—a young deckhand on a freight and passenger ferry servicing isolated communities—endures long irregular work hours, weather, icebergs, and loneliness, all the while navigating the taut intersections of race, labour, class, and masculinity. That Chaulk has Inuit family in and from Labrador makes this debut poetic journey a cultural coming-home for the young deckhand, as chronicled in supple, powerful verse.
