  A major new collection from one of our best loved, most celebrated, and most original poets. 
  Deeply personal but also expansive in its imaginative scope, Nouns & Verbs brings together thirty-five years of writing from Campbell McGrath, one of America’s most highly lauded poets. Offering a hint of where he’s headed while charting the territory already explored, McGrath gives us startlingly inventive new poems while surveying his previous work—lyric poems, prose poems, and a searing episodic personal epic, “An Odyssey of Appetite,” exploring America’s limitless material and spiritual hungers. 
  Nothing is too large or small to remain untouched by McGrath’s voracious intellect and deep empathy—everything from Japanese eggplant to a can of Schaefer beer to the smokestacks of Chicago comes in for a close and perceptive look even as McGrath crosses borders and boundaries, investigating the enduring human experiences of love and loss.  
  A book that stands on its own solid foundation, Nouns & Verbs captures the voice and vision of a truly singular poet.

  Power of Poetry The - Poems for...

  Life is frenetic.  Everything is running faster which usually means we are running later.  Everything should have been done 5 minutes ago or better still yesterday.  We are slowly falling behind, overwhelmed by busy lives in an ever-exacting world. 
   
  In these more modern times, time is everything.  There’s never enough of it. 
   
  So how do we slow down and become more comfortable with our lives, how do we find a balance?  Life shouldn’t just be one task after another.  Yes, a good life has to be worked for, found time for, but life should also be enjoyed and savoured. 
   
  One answer may lie in the past.  Classic poets down the decades and centuries have wisely observed that there are many things, both great and small, that bring a sense of stillness, an aura of calm, a chance to re-engage with our feelings and emotions purely by taking time for moments that matter.   
   
  With verse and poems from the likes of William Shakespeare, Alexander Pope, Mirabai, Tagore, Rumi and the calming balms of many others that soothe the soul and bring the inner peace we all need.

  Isolated brings together two inventive, disturbing plays by one of Canada’s most intriguing dramatic voices.
     
  In Recovery, people around the world are addicted to a mysterious substance. Large recovery centres are set up, promising refuge, treatment and healing to millions of addicts. But all is not what it seems. Following three residents of a facility in Antarctica, McArthur delivers a quirky and unsettling play that reveals the fear and isolation of the oppressed individual, and the consequences of a medicalized society.
     
  In Get Away, David finds two beautiful teenagers when he escapes to an isolated cabin where he hopes to cure his unusually persistent listlessness. Sensing that they might need protecting – and may be crucial to his survival – he invites them in, but the roles of predator and prey become unclear as the three become dangerously intertwined. Both fantastical and horrifying, Get Away provides a resonating look at the destructive nature of longing and our desperate need for love.
     
  ‘[MacArthur] has a beautiful voice and his analysis of the unpredictability of our sexuality, at once nurturing and predatory, is shrewd.’
     
  – The Globe and Mail (about Get Away)

  Resting Bitch Face - Poems

  The author of the award-winning national bestseller I Done Clicked My Heels Three Times returns with a poetry collection that transforms the Black female speaker from object, artistic muse, and victim to subject, critic, and master of her story 
   
   
   
  Resting Bitch Face is a book for women, for Black women, for lovers of art and film criticism, and for writers interested in work that finds a middle ground between poetry and prose. Taylor Byas uses some of our most common ways of "watching" throughout history (painting, films, sculpture, and photographs) to explore how these mediums shape Black female subjectivity. 
   
   
   
  From the examination of artwork by Picasso, Gauguin, Sally Mann, and Nan Goldin, Byas displays her mastery of the poetic form by engaging in intimate and inventive writing. Fluctuating between watcher and watched, the speaker of these poems uses mirrors and reflections to flip the script and talk back to histories of art, text, photography, relationships, and men. From Polaroids to gesso primer to sculpture, Byas creates a world in which the artist calls out and the muse responds. For not only does she enter the world of the long-revered classic artist, but she also infuses her poems with such iconic pop culture works as The Joker, WandaVision, and Last Tango in Paris.
