In "Old Spookses' Pass, Malcolm's Katie, and other poems," Isabella Valancy Crawford intricately weaves themes of nature, spirituality, and the human experience, reflecting a deep connection with the Canadian landscape. The collection showcases her rich lyrical style, drawing readers into vivid imagery and emotional resonance. The poems, deeply embedded in the cultural context of 19th-century Canada, capture the interplay between the sublime qualities of nature and the mystique of personal and collective identities, showcasing Crawford's command over form and diction as she navigates the terrain of both the seen and unseen. Isabella Valancy Crawford emerged as one of Canada's first successful female poets, offering a voice to the complexities of life from a woman's perspective during a time when women's literature faced both limitations and scrutiny. Her surroundings in Ontario, along with her experiences as a teacher and a wanderer, significantly inform her poetic landscape, imbuing her work with authentic emotion and rich symbolism. With influences from European literary traditions and a unique Canadian perspective, Crawford's oeuvre highlights the tensions between adherence to poetic forms and the burgeoning hope for artistic innovation. This collection is a must-read for poetry enthusiasts and scholars alike, as it reveals the brilliance of a pioneering female voice in Canadian literature. Crawford's capacity to evoke profound emotional and intellectual engagement through her verse invites readers to explore not only the depth of her themes but also the societal contexts of her time. Engage with "Old Spookses' Pass" for a transformative experience that bridges the past with the present.

    There Are Still Woods is a radiant appraisal of life at the precipice of climate crisis and a haunting elegy for all we stand to lose. Through alternating lenses, from the speculative to the spiritual, from motherhood to science to mythology, Hila Ratzabi looks out at our wounded but vibrant planet and the animal experience of living on it. These poems bear witness to the force and fragility of the natural world and grapple with the complexities of being a human in that landscape: being implicated, vulnerable, humbled, dazzled. These poems are ways of framing and enduring loss, personal and collective and cultural, real and potential and anticipated. They impart a heightened appreciation for the solid and fleeting beauty that surrounds us. Here is an ode to the earth, a vision of its end, a celebration of its endurance, an aching and eloquent plea for intercession on its behalf. Ratzabi’s first collection is a howl, a prayer, a premonition, a reawakening, and an urgent call to action.

    Stories to Share With My Partner...

    An anthology of stories can be a fun thing or a scary one. 
    Deciding what goes into an anthology can be daunting. Too much romance and some folks may decide it is ‘too mushy’. Put too much humour in, and others will say, ‘there is no substance’. Go with more science fiction, or fantasy, or horror, and you will have some folks just not pick up the book. 
    Finding the perfect ‘mix’ is a challenge for sure. 
    ‘Stories to Share with My Partner – Book 3’ presents what I hope is a good mix of stories and poetry to make everyone happy. 
    You have some love stories, ‘The Red Bug’ and the ‘The Coat’, for example, while science fiction is covered in ‘When the Future Arrives’ and ‘Coordinates’. 
    Funny stories are what I enjoy writing about, and there are few in this book. 
    ‘So That Is When the Fight Started’ is something many can relate too and in ‘Jerk’ I take a different approach to ‘superheroes’. 
    I hope you enjoy reading these as much as I did when I wrote them. 
    As always, any comments are welcome, so shoot me a quick email to info@jfnodar.com.au

    “In the vast expanse of the Algerian desert, an adventurer embarks on a solitary journey to explore ancient temples hidden among the dunes. As he delves into the ruins, he uncovers engravings on the walls that hint at a civilization far more advanced than ours, one that predates history as we know it. Suddenly, he’s whisked away by unseen forces and comes face-to-face with these ancient beings. In a twist of fate, he learns the secret behind their diminished stature, as they have evolved into beings of small form but immense intellect, a stark contrast to their grand legacy etched in stone.”

    You have no normal country to...

    In You have no normal country to return to, Tom Sastry explores questions of national identity and 'the end of history'. A blistering, bleakly funny and timely second poetry collection, following his Seamus Heaney First Collection Prize shortlisted, A Man's House Catches Fire.
    By turns crisply satirical and questioning, You have no normal country toreturn to ranges across the legacies of Empire, postwar migration and the current crisis in English identity. Sastry's precise, brilliantly attuned poetry asks how the times we live in and the tales we tell about them affect us; how our emotional landscapes are shaped by national myths and the more personal stories we tell about ourselves. It is a book about illusion, and discovering, again and again, that what was once taken for granted was never really there; a guidebook for an age of "enchantments collapsing on themselves".
