'Jumbo, StephensGerardMalone's latest masterful melding of fact and fiction, is an unflinching, at times brutally heartrending, portrait of 19th-century circus life.'

(1) If anyone would like a copy of Saving - a lyric prose memoir of mental illness and the illnesses of my children - just drop me a DM, and I'll mail it to you for $20. I think it's beautiful & unique. For anyone who wants to be a physician, or who has a child, relative . . .

Shawn's novel is a load of fun with a great feel for dialogue and a perfect sense of time/place (New Brunswick, 1982). Out in 6 weeks or so, but we'll have pre-order option available soon. Meanwhile, setting up two other Galleon titles. Busy!

Look at this lovely graphic made by League of Canadian Poets for each of the 12 finalists in all 3 awards. that's a lot of work! thanks, League of Canadian Poets!

I despair of the short shelf life that most books get in the publicity-media cycle, so I wrote about some of my favourite books published in Canada from two years ago.

Happy Publication to Melanie Marttila’s debut poetry collection, The Art of Floating, published by Latitude 46.

The Art of Floating is a result of and testament to years of honing her craft. The collection of five sections of free verse poems is wide ranging and eclectic.

'Collins’ mind torques language, thesaurusing wings tipped in water colours for shrike and crane; her lexical lick of an enhancing sensibility is evident throughout this collection.'—The Miramichi Reader
