Demo Reels and Arthouse Madness - A Collection of Dark Verse

Vince A. Liaguno

Sinossi

Demo Reels and Arthouse Madness collects poetry from a self-identified unapologetic horror and pop culture junkie. Bram Stoker Award winner Liaguno presents 49 poems packed with modern observations that explore everything from our slasher movie obsession to the work week rhythm that drives so many of us. With a lyrical cadence and all-out alliteration Liaguno weaves short films for the mind from surprising angles, resuscitating familiar themes into ghoulish, garish technicolor life. Delving into both subcultures and subgenres with a dark cinematic aesthetic allows the subjects contained within to flourish with broad appeal, while retaining gritty and artistic relevance. Liaguno invites you into a world of fearless and fear-inducing verse that dares to play with nostalgic horror in unexpected ways.

Jonathan Ball

A poetic collage of art in the modern world: from Rilkean elegies for an iPhone to a meditation on Melville's classic
  Jonathan Ball's fourth poetry book, the first in seven years, swirls chaos and confession together. At the book's heart is a question: Why create art? A series of poetic sequences torment themselves over this question, offering few answers and taking fewer prisoners. Loose sonnets that consider the artistic creations of Leatherface, monster-killer from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, sit alongside Rilkean elegies for an iPhone. Surreal meditations on the collage work of Guy Maddin are followed by all of the lines from Melville's Moby-Dick that mention "salt." Politicians and painters jostle while absurdist humour crashes into stark admissions of vulnerability in the wake of having children. A startling diversity of styles and subjects feed into the maelstrom of The National Gallery, and its dark currents will draw you in to drown.

Continuity Errors

Catriona Wright

CBC BOOKS CANADIAN POETRY COLLECTIONS TO WATCH FOR IN SPRING 2023 
SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2024 TRILLIUM BOOK AWARD FOR POETRY 
Feminist poems both serious and absurd that question our obsession with productivity instead of with care. 
Continuity Errors questions the privileging of work and productivity over rest and care from an ecological and feminist perspective. Written before and immediately after the birth of her first child, these poems try to imagine the future her son will inherit. Encounters with an unusual cast of characters – including lonely cryptids, unrepentant grifters, and persistent ghosts – provide incomplete answers, and while the continuity errors keep multiplying around her, Wright pauses to consider whether our devotion to innovation is keeping us stuck. 
"Catriona Wright's Continuity Errors is a book of snaking moves and sneaking intellect, a book of style and fortitude and sass. Wright's always sharp and often eerie interrogations lead us through a world of cryptocurrency, grunt work, predictive policing, extinction, haute cuisine, billboard ads, smoke breaks, breast pumps; these are poems for our moment of onslaught and bewilderment that, having had the world forced down their throats, spit back." – Natalie Shapero, author of Popular Longing
