  LibriVox volunteers bring you 12 recordings of A New Arrival by George W. Cable. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for May 17th, 2010."The New Arrival" is a valuable poem because it expresses the joy of a young father over his new baby. If girls should be educated to be good mothers, so should boys be taught that fatherhood is the highest and holiest joy and right of man. The child is educator to the man. He teaches him how to take responsibility, how to give unbiased judgments, and how to be fatherly like "Our Father who is in Heaven." (1844-.) (introduction to 'A New Arrival' from Poems Every Child Should Know by Mary E. Burt  ed.)

  Konfessions of an Elizabethan...

  Better break out your sledgehammer – it's time for a little concrete! Concrete poetry, that is. Concrete what? Well, it's poetry that's a lot like art – its meaning comes from what it looks like instead of the order of the words, so it's full of great visual puns and word puzzles. And one of its foremost practitioners is bpNichol, one of Canada's best experimental writers.
   
  Konfessions of an Elizabethan Fan Dancer is Nichol's very first book. Originally published in England by Bob Cobbing in 1967, and then in Canada in 1973 by Nelson Ball's Weed/Flower Press, it has been unavailable for a dog's age. This new edition, curated by poet and antiquarian bookseller Nelson Ball, redresses this wrong. One of the few Nichol books that is dedicated entirely to concrete poetry, Konfessions is, like all of Nichol's work, playful, sincere, explorative, intelligent and human.

  With Paper for Feet

  Jennifer A. McGowan

  Drawing together Jennifer A. McGowan's poetry of myth and folktale, and the frailties – human or otherwise – behind them, With Paper for Feet explores, mostly from a female perspective, the guts it takes to live or – often – die, un-heroically. Her characters laugh, argue, complain, suffer,
  
  curse.
  
  ...Gold is heavy,
  
  and chafes....
  
  aware that more is expected of them, but unwilling to play up.
  
  Praise for Jennifer A. McGowan's work
  
  ...gritty thought; wit; striking candour – an unafraid recognition
  
  of life's richness and desolation; memorable detail; all these are
  
  underpinned by a graceful, subtle, quite lovely way with language.
  
  Kevin Crossley-Holland
  
  ...bedecked with wit, irony, bittersweet folly and dictional-shifts
  
  jazzy enough to make a reader dance. Gray Jacobik
  
  ... precise, observant and deep into mythology.
