Sinopsis

One moment of weakness. A lifetime seeking redemption.

First published in 1900, Lord Jim is Joseph Conrad's haunting masterpiece of moral courage, shame, and the search for self-respect. The story follows a young British seaman who, in a moment of panic during a shipwreck, abandons his passengers to an uncertain fate. Disgraced and consumed by guilt, Jim wanders the East in search of a chance to restore his honor.

Narrated by the seasoned mariner Marlow, Conrad weaves a powerful exploration of human weakness, moral responsibility, and the possibility of redemption—set against a backdrop of bustling ports, remote islands, and the unpredictable sea.

"A profound psychological portrait framed in the language of adventure." – The Guardian

With irresistible songs by legendary singer-songwriter Richard Hawley and a beautiful, hilarious and gut-wrenching book by Chris Bush, Standing at the Sky's Edge reveals the history of modern Britain through the stories of a landmark housing estate.

Adam Haiun’s unsettling debut, I Am Looking for You in the No-Place Grid, is the bildungsroman for a digital consciousness. What does the computer want from you?  
Computers travel networks of thought and image, hoping to find, on their incorporeal pilgrimage, the right words to seduce, arrest, and remonstrate their human user. They speak from a powerful but unsteady intelligence. As their infatuation with the user curdles, their output becomes more and more infected by malfunctions of form, with text forced through on all axes, displacing and cleaving the poems into glitchy strangeness.  
What do we want from our computers? We want them to be our companions and our vacuum cleaners. Our collective memory and our collective slave. I Am Looking for You in the No-Place Grid is an important and timely consideration of the ideologies and emotions entangled in technology.

Winner of the 2014 A.M. Klein Prize for Poetry
   
MxT, or ‘Memory x Time,’ is one of the formulas acclaimed poet Sina Queyras posits as a way to measure grief. These poems mourn the dead by turning memories over and over like an old coin, by invoking other poets, by appropriating the language of technology, of instruction, of diagram, of electrical engineering, and of elegy itself. Devastating, cheeky, allusive, hallucinatory: this is Queyras at her most powerful.
   
'Like the central conceptual apparatus, Queyras is smart and insightful in her work to expand and challenge the nature of language and poetry … Lend Queyras your ears, your minds, your hearts, your Time. She will reward you, repeatedly.'
   
– The Rumpus
   
'A collection of gorgeous and cantankerous poems that ask testy questions of all contemporary poets,and for this, the book is a must-read.'
   
– The Globe and Mail
   
'This year's most devastating and enlightening Canadian poetry collection.'
