The Book of Grief and Hamburgers

Stuart Ross

Winner of the 2023 Trillium Book Award
		 
A poignant meditation on mortality from a beloved Canadian poet
		 
A writer friend once pointed out that whenever Stuart Ross got close to something heavy and “real” in a poem, a hamburger would inevitably appear for comic relief. In this hybrid essay/memoir/poetic meditation, Ross shoves aside the heaping plate of burgers to wrestle with what it means to grieve the people one loves and what it means to go on living in the face of an enormous accumulation of loss. Written during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, shortly after the sudden death of his brother left him the last living member of his family and as a catastrophic diagnosis meant anticipating the death of his closest friend, this meditation on mortality — a kind of literary shiva — is Ross’s most personal book to date. More than a catalogue of losses, The Book of Grief and Hamburgers is a moving act of resistance against self-annihilation and a desperate attempt to embrace all that was good in his relationships with those most dear to him.

Niagara - Daredevils Danger &...

Andrew Hind, Maria Da Silva

Niagara is rich with fascinating stories, from daredevils to heroics.
		 
From the horrors during the War of 1812, to murder, to technological innovation and the birth of the modern tourist industry, Niagara has seen it all:
		 
In 1901, Annie Taylor was the first person to go over the falls in a barrel…and survive.
		 
It is said that the former Houdini Hall of Fame was cursed by the dead escape artist himself, and that he was responsible for its demise.
		 
For two weeks in 1952, Niagara Falls shared the spotlight with another attraction, Hollywood starlet Marilyn Monroe.
		 
Maria Spelterini was the first and only woman to cross Niagara on a tightrope…and then she disappears from history.
		 
Adulterer Arthur Hoyt Day decided to rid himself of one wife by throwing her into the Niagara gorge; he paid the ultimate price for his crime.
		 
Nikola Tesla, an eccentric but brilliant inventor, tamed the falls and revolutionized electricity forever.
		 
In 1913, a barge ran aground at the precipice of the falls, creating a landmark and a tale of heroic rescue that endures to this day.
		 
And so much more…

Inside the NRA - Armed and...

Jack Anderson

A chilling examination of the NRA and its powerful influence on America.In 1996, deaths by gun violence in the United States totaled roughly 14,000. With so many casualties— along with an astounding rise of armed militias and the discovery of huge caches of weapons stockpiled in private residences— Americans were forced to re-examine what it meant to have the "right to bear arms." The scrutinizing public eye wasted no time in looking for answers from the National Rifle Association, a group whose foundation and lifeblood is founded in the Second Amendment. Famed muckraker Jack Anderson went behind the scenes of the NRA to produce this blistering expose. Nearly thirty years later— as gun violence has escalated and America endures mass shootings on an almost weekly basis— Anderson' s scathing portrait of the NRA rings as true as ever.
