New books from HARBOUR PUBLISHING
FISHING WITH GUBBY
Kim La Fave and Gary Kent
F
ishing with Gubby is the marvelously illustrated, authentic
account of one season in the life of a salmon fisherman. Based
on actual events, the story is told by award-winning children’s
illustrator Kim La Fave and former fisherman Gary Kent. Together
they make the wharfs, boats, fishermen and villages of the BC coast
come alive with remarkable detail and humour.
Gubby is a salmon fisherman who lives with his wife Millie
and cat Puss in a small seaside village on the west coast of British
Columbia. He keeps his boat, the Flounder—a 36-foot west coast
salmon troller—at a local wharf with many other boats.
Gubby’s journey first takes him up BC’s west coast, through
Georgia, Johnstone and Queen Charlotte straits and north past Port
Hardy. He then heads into the open ocean towards treacherous Cape
Scott, through to Winter Harbour and Quatsino Sound to settle in
for a summer of fishing. Gubby and Puss face rolling rapids, rough
and tumble storms and banks of fog, tussle with a basking shark
and a pod of orcas, all while trolling for spring and coho salmon
and visiting other fishermen and homesteaders along the way.
Part graphic novel and part ocean adventure story in the style
of Raymond Briggs, Fishing with Gubby not only depicts the salty
BC coast, it captures the vanishing “golden age” when fishing was
more than just a job—it was a way of life.
Kim La Fave, a Governor General’s Award-winning artist, is the
illustrator of Amos’s Sweater (by Janet Lunn) which won the Ruth
Schwartz Children’s Book Award and the Amelia Frances HowardGibbon Award for illustration, Follow That Star (by Kenneth
Oppel), I Am Small (by Sheree Fitch), the bestselling The Bones and
Skeleton Book (by Steven Cumbaa), Boys, Girls and Body Science (by
Meg Hickling) and many other children’s books. He lives in Roberts
Creek, BC.
Gary Kent grew up in Vancouver and received his BA from
the University of British Columbia. He was a commercial fisherman
and salmon troller for nine years and is now a furniture maker and
instructor at the Inside Passage School of Fine Woodworking. He
lives in Roberts Creek, BC. Fishing with Gubby is his first book.

ike McCardell is an institution in BC television with his antinews stories of oddball inspiration that close the News Hour
on Global BC. Lately he has become a publishing institution as well
with his series of heartwarming books full of stories about the ways
in which ordinary people cope with extraordinary challenges. Fresh
from 2009’s bestselling The Expanded Reilly Method, he is back
with another winner in Everything Works.
In his new book, McCardell reveals how to rekindle the thrill
and pride we once felt as children when carrying, under one arm,
that small treasure of good books from the library. Everything
Works finds the storybook tales of real life—the simple adventures
that bring happiness to those who discover them. For McCardell,
it’s looking for that something good; that something you can talk
about, share, or even remember and tell someone a week later. A
good story does not grow old.
From the moment he rediscovered the magic of picture books,
television changed for McCardell. He began looking for a pink
alligator or someone planting daffodils in February. His rules for
television became applicable to his daily life:
1) Everything works.
2) Continuity (very big in television) is for wimps.
3) Any kid who stands in front of the camera gets on television.
4) Good people make good stories.
5) And the most important rule: Repeat number one.
Everything Works seeks out the pink alligators and winter daffodils of our everyday lives. It searches for the grimy, mean-looking
kid who holds the door open for a man with a walker, or the little
girl who puts mittens on the stick arms of a snowman. Everything
Works encourages readers to find one good, oddball, sweet, funny,
neat, friendly, positive, pretty or mind-blowing thing each day, and
to share that story with someone else. What a storybook world we
could create!
Mike McCardell has earned the loyalty of hundreds of thousands
of fans for his tongue-in-cheek investigative reporting and humaninterest stories. He is the author of the bestselling Chasing the Story
God, Back Alley Reporter, Getting to the Bubble, The Expanded
Reilly Method and The Blue Flames That Keep Us Warm, a national
bestseller and BC Book Prize finalist.

Victoria
Crown Jewel of British Columbia
Including Esquimalt, Oak Bay, Saanich
and the Peninsula
Susan Mayse, photos by Chris Cheadle
B
ritish Columbia’s fabled capital city has never looked better
than in this multi-faceted photo essay, history and travel
guide by two of the area’s most talented long-time residents.
Susan Mayse’s compelling narrative is masterfully illustrated by
photographer Chris Cheadle’s vibrant images. With the authors’
guidance, the reader explores Victoria’s famous landmarks, from
the Butchart Gardens to the possibly haunted Empress Hotel to the
undoubtedly haunted Ross Bay Cemetery.
Victoria: Crown Jewel of British Columbia moves from
Victoria’s Inner Harbour—the main point of arrival for visitors for
165 years—to the surrounding areas including Port Renfrew on
the wild west coast, the forested slopes of Malahat Ridge and the
rolling farmlands of the Saanich Peninsula. It also travels backward through time from the Victoria of today to the area’s diverse
and sometimes bizarre history, and explores the future as the city
grapples with environmental sustainability amidst increasing population pressures. Souvenir book, history and contemporary guide,
Victoria is a volume that will appeal to residents and visitors alike.
Susan Mayse is a fourth-generation Vancouver Islander. She has
written for many national and international publications including
the Daily Mail and the Toronto Star. She is also the author of the
acclaimed novel, Awen and Ginger: The Life and Death of Albert
Goodwin, a BC Bestseller and winner of the Arthur Ellis Award for
True Crime and the Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction.
She is the daughter of the late Vancouver Island journalist and
author Arthur Mayse.
Chris Cheadle has photographed and written three books celebrating the magnificent natural history of British Columbia. He has
contributed to Getty Images and worked on assignment for clients
like Lonely Planet in various far-flung regions of the world. Chris is
currently the managing director of All Canada Photos, which represents many of Canada’s most accomplished photographers.

ampbell River is a modern city of 30,000 on the east coast of
Vancouver Island that still retains an aura of the frontier, a
result of its status as gateway to the wilder reaches of the upper BC
coast. Although the community has roots in mining, fishing and
logging, it has long been a recreational centre, famous for the size of
its “Tyee” salmon.
Campbell River is three books in one: it blends the city’s
fascinating history, contemporary life and breathtaking scenery
into one volume. The informative text by local writer Ian Douglas
features the area’s rich First Nations culture and key pioneers along
with modern-day artists, business people and community leaders.
We meet Charles Thulin, the “father of Campbell River,” who came
to the area in 1904 and built the town’s first hotel and store; and
writer, sport fisher and conservationist Roderick Haig-Brown, whose
home has become a BC Heritage Site and literary landmark. We
explore areas around the city including Mittlenatch Island, a seabird
colony and nature reserve nicknamed the “Galapagos of the Gulf of
Georgia” and majestic Strathcona Park, BC’s oldest provincial park.
Quadra Island resident and author Ian Douglas interviewed
dozens of locals to bring to life the community of Campbell River
and the surrounding islands, and award-winning photographer
Boomer Jerritt skilfully illustrates the story with breathtaking photographs of the people, places and wildlife that make this part of
Vancouver Island unique. The result is a beautiful coffee-table book
that celebrates the beauty of the region, and the people—past and
present—that have made the area the special place it is today.
Ian Douglas is the co-author of Exploring Quadra Island: Heritage
Sites and Hiking Trails (with Jeanette Taylor), and has been
published in Sail, Pacific Yachting, Cottage Magazine and West Coast
Mariner. He lives in Heriot Bay, BC.
Boomer Jerritt is a graduate of the Western Academy of
Photography and recipient of the Freeman Patterson award. His
photographs are also featured in The Comox Valley: Courtenay,
Comox, Cumberland and Area. He lives in Comox, BC, and teaches
photography at North Island College.

Adventures in Solitude
What Not to Wear to a Nudist Potluck and
Other Stories from Desolation Sound
Grant Lawrence
“By turns hilarious, terrifying, profound and strange, this
is the great lost Canadian adventure story; Swiss Family
Robinson as if rendered by Ken Kesey in his youth, a kind of
Lord of the Flies through a fog of BC Chronic.”
—Dave Bidini
F
rom Captain George Vancouver to Muriel “Curve of Time”
Blanchet to Jim “Spilsbury’s Coast” Spilsbury, visitors to
Desolation Sound have left behind a trail of books endowing the
area with a romantic aura that helps to make it British Columbia’s
most popular marine park. In this hilarious and captivating book,
CBC personality Grant Lawrence adds a whole new chapter to the
saga of this storied piece of BC coastline.
Young Grant’s father bought a piece of land next to the park in
the 1970s, just in time to encounter the gun-toting cougar lady, leftover hippies, outlaw bikers and an assortment of other characters. In
those years Desolation Sound was a place where going to the neighbours’ potluck meant being met with hugs from portly naked hippies
and where Russell the Hermit’s school of life (boating, fishing, and
rock ’n’ roll) was Grant’s personal Enlightenment—an influence that
would take him away from the coast to a life of music and journalism
and eventually back again.
With rock band buddies and a few cases of beer in tow, an
older, cooler Grant returns to regale us with tales of “going bush,”
the tempting dilemma of finding an unguarded grow-op, and his
awkward struggle to convince a couple of visiting kayakers that
he’s a legit CBC radio host while sporting a wild beard and body
wounds and gesticulating with a machete.
With plenty of laugh-out-loud humour and inspired reverence,
Adventures in Solitude delights us with the unique history of a place
and the growth of a young man amidst the magic of Desolation
Sound.

A Chip Off the Old Black
Arthur Black
A
rthur Black’s voice is unmistakable on the radio and on the
page. His is the voice of reason, with a generous helping of
funny; the voice that scolds us for our universal human quirks, but
who says it with the tone and words that make us laugh out loud at
ourselves and our neighbours.
A Chip Off the Old Black, Black’s latest collection of stories,
will knock a sense of humour into any reader, boasting nearly a
hundred tales featuring everything from yarnbombing to Bambi,
from Black’s love of the Farmer’s Almanac to his loathing of
snowmobiles and his . . . problem . . . with David Suzuki. With
a talent for ranting, minus the malice, Black sticks up for the
chocolate-covered marshmallow confection of New Zealand—
the politically-incorrect “Eskimo” candies. Those inclined to
kvetching—a Yiddish word describing the tendency to complain
persistently about everything—may just reconsider after reading A
Chip Off the Old Black. After all, as Black demonstrates, it’s far more
enjoyable to take the opportunity to laugh.
Arthur Black’s growing collection of award-winning books
includes Pitch Black, Black Tie and Tales and Black in the Saddle
Again, all of which won him the Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal
for Humour. He hosted CBC Radio One’s Basic Black program from
1983 until 2002, while also using his comedic talents to host Life
Television Network’s Weird Homes and Weird Wheels. His recent
books include Black is the New Green and the audio CD, Planet Salt
Spring, which features tales from his adopted home of Salt Spring
Island, BC.

A Walk With the Rainy Sisters
In Praise of British Columbia’s Places
Stephen Hume
T
his book is a lyrical testament to a great love affair between
the writer and his region. In A Walk with the Rainy Sisters, one
of British Columbia’s favourite authors writes with passion about
his favourite topic—the geography of British Columbia. Stephen
Hume guides readers through the natural world, moving from the
thin, cold air of British Columbia’s high country to the fecundity
and silence of the deep rainforest. He writes of the iridescence of
dragonflies dancing out brief lives above summer ponds and the
brittle forests of glass sponges growing in the lightless depths of
the continental shelf, where they have flourished undisturbed since
the Jurassic. Hume contemplates the meaning of rain; the tawny
islets in the Salish Sea; what the night sky tells us about our place
in time; people who choose to live at the margins and the relentless
passage of lives and seasons, loss and renewal.
“What Hume has forgotten about this province is more than
most journalists will ever know,” wrote Terry Glavin. Roberta
Morris wrote, “He unburies language.” A Walk with the Rainy Sisters
invites readers once again to share the author’s love and awe of this
province.
Stephen Hume was raised in fishing, farming and logging
communities across BC and studied at the University of Victoria.
Hume has been a columnist at the Vancouver Sun for more than
20 years. His poetry, essays and journalism have won more than a
dozen awards. Other books include Raincoast Chronicles 20: Lilies
and Fireweed, Bush Telegraph, Off the Map and Simon Fraser: In
Search of Modern British Columbia, winner of the Roderick HaigBrown prize in 2009. He also teaches writing at the University of
Victoria and Vancouver Island University.

n this fascinating collection Canada’s most entertaining
sportswriter revisits the glories of a career following sporting
events and personalities that spanned five decades. Name any
memorable event—from Canada-Russia 1972 to Rick Hansen’s
Man in Motion tour—or any famous name from Wayne Gretzky to
Muhammad Ali to the San Diego Chicken, and Jim Taylor was there
giving his insightful, witty and often sceptical take on the subject.
As Taylor writes, “when sport makes instant millionaires out
of kids who can hit a ball or a puck with a stick or stuff a leather
balloon through a fishnet, what’s not to laugh?”
Here are tales of good guys and jerks, journeymen and giants
playing games for a living with the world peering into the fishbowl
and bigger, stronger, faster challengers coming at them every year.
Here too are the true originals, such as boxing legend Archie
“The Mongoose” Moore, who fought his last pro fight at the age of
72; Sam Snead, the barefoot hillbilly who learned to play golf by hitting rocks with a stick and went on to win 135 tournaments; Willie
O’Ree, the black New Brunswicker who broke the NHL’s colour bar;
tragic Percy Williams, the pint-sized sprinter who won double gold
at the Amsterdam Olympics and later shot himself; and plenty of
lesser-known heroes like the local legend Joe Johnson, who introduced a generation of BC kids to the love of soccer.
Both a retrospective of memorable goings-on in the sports
world of the last fifty years and a first-rate read, And to Think I Got
in Free! stands as proof that in the right hands sports writing can
be great writing.
Jim Taylor has produced some 7,500 sports columns, three times
as many radio shows and 14 books. His passionate sports writing
has earned him membership in the CFL and BC Sports Halls of
Fame and a lifetime achievement award from Sports Media Canada.
Some of his recent books include Goin’ Deep: The Life and Times
of a CFL Quarterback with Matt Dunigan and “Hello, Sweetheart?
Gimmie Rewrite!”: My Life in the Wonderful World of Sports. He
currently resides in West Vancouver, BC.

RUMBLE SEAT
A Victorian Childhood Remembered
Helen Piddington
R
umble Seat is an evocative, poetically-written memoir of
artist Helen Piddington’s childhood in the Victoria suburb
of Esquimalt—and what a childhood it was! The Piddingtons
arrived from Quebec in 1924, and settled into a life that in many
ways typified well-off Victoria families of the period. Helen’s father,
Major Arthur Grosvenor Piddington, was a bit of an eccentric
whose preferred attire, after his British army blazer, was jodhpurs
and riding coat or drill shorts with knee socks held up by brightlycoloured garters. He dabbled in gentlemanly pursuits such as
sheep ranching but his true passion was riding. Helen’s mother
was “expected to make and receive social calls and entertain with
tea parties, dinners and dances” but she had help—a governess,
a nanny, a housemaid, a cook and faithful Tim the gardener. The
Piddingtons occupied an imposing home designed by Victoria’s
favourite residential architect, Charles Maclure, with a grand
entrance hall and private garden, tennis court, stables, paddock
and meadows bordered by golf links. Family amusements included
hosting garden fetes, playing tennis and polo, summering at Savira,
their cottage on Shawnigan Lake and motoring in their mother’s
Morris roadster—the one with the coveted rumble seat.
During the 1930s the Piddington’s life of privileged comfort
vanished thanks to the Great Depression and Major Piddington’s
bad luck in business. From then on the elder Piddingtons were
forced to look after their vast brood themselves, the Major growing
their food and Mrs. P. belatedly learning to cook, keep house and
care for Helen, her youngest child. Difficult as the adjustment was,
there was new satisfaction to be found in sharing and making do.
With sharp descriptions of the artifacts, mannerisms and
characters recalled from her early years, Helen Piddington’s Rumble
Seat is a captivating record of a way of life gone by and a valuable
addition to the social history of British Columbia.
Helen Piddington is a renowned printmaker and artist whose
work has been shown around the world. In 1975 she and her
husband moved to remote Loughborough Inlet on the coastal
mainland of BC, and have lived there ever since. Her first book,
The Inlet, is about her experiences living on this remote part of the
West.

Witness
Selected Poems 1970–2010
Patrick Lane
“Lane is a poet . . . of the individual, hard-hitting poem;
like physical blows, he wields his pieces like small threats of
intense beauty.” —Globe and Mail
“One of the few poets who can leave you not just shaken, but
shaking.” —Vancouver Sun
P
atrick Lane is one of Canada’s pre-eminent poets, winner of
numerous awards, including the Governor General’s Award for
Poetry, the Canadian Authors Association Award, the Lieutenant
Governor’s Award for Literary Excellence and three National
Magazine Awards. His distinguished career spans forty-five years
and twenty-four volumes of poetry as well as award-winning books
of fiction and non-fiction.
Witness is the only volume to cover the breadth of Lane’s
career and gather up the finest of his work—from early poems
penned during his literary beginnings to new poems written at the
height of his career. Fierce, piercing, and unflinchingly honest, Lane
explores the darker side of human nature and desire even as he
looks to the future with a hopeful eye, for “even among words/there
are bright seeds hidden . . .”
This striking volume is required reading, not only for fans of
Patrick Lane’s work, but for poetry lovers and Canadian literature
enthusiasts everywhere.

Glaciers, Bears and Totems
Sailing in Search of the Real Southeast Alaska
Elsie Hulsizer
M
arine writer Elsie Hulsizer, whose Voyages to Windward
unlocked the mysteries of cruising Vancouver Island’s west
coast, now does the same for that other great unknown of West
Coast cruising, Southeastern Alaska. Having avoided the Alaskan
challenge for years, Elsie and her husband Steve set out on the
trusty Osprey on May 14, 2006, and spent the next three summers
sailing, writing and photographing the towering fjords, immaculate
glaciers, throwback fishing villages and overexposed tourist traps of
America’s largest state. They drifted past calving glaciers, watched
bears feeding in green marshes, smelled the fresh cedar of newly
carved totem poles and followed the path of gold prospectors on the
White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad. Sometimes it was difficult
to discern the real Alaska beneath the façade, but Hulsizer finds
it in many places, from the wild beauty of the ocean to the small
coastal villages she visits and, sometimes, even where the tourists
go. Glaciers, Bears and Totems is a rich book of adventure travel that
is as valuable for its reading fun as for its travel information.
An environmental professional with a degree in oceanography,
Elsie Hulsizer lives in Seattle, Washington with her husband Steve.
She has a certificate in fine art photography from the Photographic
Center Northwest and has exhibited her art in various galleries. She
is also the author of Voyages to Windward: Sailing Adventures on

ne of Chris Czajkowski’s first priorities when she arrived at
Nuk Tessli, a remote location in BC’s Coast Mountains, was to
devise a way to bake bread. At first, she lived in a tent and her oven
was a simple pile of rocks with a hole in the middle. But as she built
her wilderness cabins and started providing for the clients of her
wilderness adventure business, she perfected her stone oven and
her recipes—and word began to spread of Nuk Tessli and the “Best
Bread in the World.”
From tangy sourdough loaves of freshly ground grain, Nuk
Tessli Fruit Bread sweetened with hearty molasses and aromatic
spices, to Montreal bagels with an alpine touch, here are inspiring,
adventurous recipes that bypass the bread machine. Also included
are quick breads and desserts, like a hearty trail mix cake—perfect
on a hike—and Nuk Tessli’s enigmatic spotted dick, plus a few
indispensable recipes for any wilderness dweller (or frugal urbanite), such as fresh yogurt and sprouts.
A Wilderness Dweller’s Cookbook is not just a collection of recipes; it’s also a fascinating account of how a wilderness dweller—in
a non-growing climate 20 km from a road, 60 km from a store, and
250 km from a town large enough to have a supermarket—feeds
herself and her guests. Of particular interest to readers with their
own wilderness dreams will be Czajkowski’s descriptions of the
logistics of getting wholesome, fresh food to the table in this remote
and spectacular location.
Chris Czajkowski has lived off the grid for more than a quarter of
a century. She currently operates the Nuk Tessli Alpine Experience,
an ecotourism business catering to hikers and naturalists near the
southern tip of Tweedsmuir Provincial Park in British Columbia’s
Coast Mountains. Her wilderness and cabin-building experiences
have been documented in several bestselling books, including
Cabin at Singing River, Snowshoes and Spotted Dick: Letters from a
Wilderness Dweller, Diary of a Wilderness Dweller, Wildfire in the
Wilderness, and most recently, A Mountain Year: Nature Diary of a
Wilderness Dweller.

Hope Lives Here
A History of Vancouver’s First United Church
Bob Burrows
N
o church in Canada has generated more news coverage for
more years than Vancouver’s First United. That has everything
to do with its location in the heart of the infamous Downtown
Eastside and with its role as caregiver and defender of the poor,
the needy and the homeless inhabitants of Canada’s poorest
postal code. Like Mother Teresa’s mission to the slums of Calcutta,
the First United seizes its position among the marginalized as
an opportunity to serve and has proven a shining example of
humanitarian activism for 125 years.
Famous for its defence of the jobless poor during the Great
Depression under the leadership of the Rev. Andrew Roddan, it
is now equally renowned as a bastion of support for modern-day
street people with more complicated problems. With its roots in the
early Presbyterian and Methodist Church Missions established in
Vancouver in 1885 and 1888, the history of the First United Church
spans that of the city it resides in. During that time it has seen the
area around it and the population it serves undergo tremendous
changes, as initial generations moved out to the suburbs, and the
congregation assisted with the settling of newcomers from all over
the world.
In this well-written and lively account, Burrows, himself a
United Church minister for over four decades, brings his lifetime of
commitment and compassion to the remarkable history of the First
United Church in Hope Lives Here.
Bob Burrows began his work on the British Columbia coast
as minister and captain of a mission boat based at Ocean Falls
in 1960. From 1962 to 1966 he was the missionary-pilot of the
church’s Cessna aircraft based in Alert Bay. For the next eight years
he was minister and superintendent of First United Church in
Vancouver. He received an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from
the University of Toronto in 2001 in recognition of a lifetime of
service to the United Church and his community. Bob Burrows is
also the author of Healing in the Wilderness: A History of the United
Church Mission Hospitals. He lives in Vancouver, BC.

Cold Land, Warm Hearts
More Memories of an Arctic Medical Outpost
Keith Billington
I
n 2008 Keith Billington’s surprise bestseller, House Calls by
Dogsled: Six Years in an Arctic Medical Outpost, vividly described
Billington and his wife Muriel’s experiences providing medical care
to a string of isolated First Nations settlements in the Northwest
Territories during the 1960s. In Cold Land, Warm Hearts: More
Memories of an Arctic Medical Outpost Billington dishes up more
of the hair-raising and heartwarming stories about medical
emergencies and Native traditions that made his first book such
a hit. In one story, he and his RCMP escort get more than they
bargain for during a patrol of hunting camps as they find their
loaded dogsleds plunging over a massive waterfall, which is only
navigable owing to the fact it is frozen solid.
Time and again the Billingtons are awoken in the wee hours
to find a life-threatening emergency unfolding before their sleepy
eyes, which frequently ends by lighting a makeshift airstrip with
rolls of toilet paper soaked in kerosene so a steel-nerved bush pilot
can be summoned on a pitch-dark mercy flight to the hospital in
Inuvik. Through it all Keith and Muriel become ever closer to the
Gwich’in people of the North who serve as foster grandparents
to their growing family and in whose life dramas the Billingtons
inevitably become involved. In this book Keith and Muriel return to
their northern haunts after the passage of more than a quarter century and learn the endings to many of the stories started in the first
book. They are moved beyond tears to discover their old medical
post in Fort McPherson replaced by a modern two-storey facility
named for their faithful Gwich’in assistant, William Firth.
Grippingly written and infused with great warmth, Cold Land,
Warm Hearts is an absorbing adventure story that rounds out the
Billingtons’ Arctic saga with a deepened understanding of the far
North and its people.

But if a man had to be tough to survive some of the roughest living
in creation, what did a young girl have to be? This is the story of
Pan Phillips’ daughter Diana, who learned to trap muskrat when
she was little more than a toddler, worked with haying crews before
she was into her teens and was renowned as the only person feisty
enough to best her legendary father in a slanging match.
Diana Phillips sold her ranch and moved to Vanderhoof in

and still works in the cattle industry. Beyond the Chilcotin is her
first published work.

Tragedy at Second Narrows
The Story of the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge
Eric Jamieson
WINNER OF THE 2008 LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR’S MEDAL
FOR HISTORICAL WRITING
O
n June 17, 1958, Vancouver experienced the worst industrial
accident in its history when the new bridge being built across
Burrard Inlet collapsed into the flooding tidal waters of Second
Narrows, killing eighteen workers. The shocking thing was that the
bridge was not an old, decrepit structure, but a new one just in the
midst of being erected with all the support and security modern
engineering could provide. That somebody had made a colossal
error seemed obvious, but it would take a Royal Commission to
discover how and why.
For over thirty years Eric Jamieson made his living as a
banker. Tragedy at Second Narrows is his second book; he is also the
author of South Pole—900 Miles on Foot. Jamieson lives in North
Vancouver.

The Chimney Stone
Rob Winger
I
n this eagerly anticipated follow-up to his award-winning,
critically lauded debut, Rob Winger’s sophomore collection,
The Chimney Stone, bends the contemporary lyric into startling
new shapes. Concentrating on a splendid mess of headlines, wars,
politics, relationships and artistic influences, Winger’s ghazals ask
us how to negotiate the complex commitments and chaotic tumult
of our daily lives. Making use of the ghazal’s original address to both a secular
lover and a sacred ethics, Winger’s four sections move from examinations of gender in “Iron John” and “Bloody Mary,” to an ironic
investigation of common experience in “Idiot Wind,” to a record of
both human rights abuses and personal epiphany in “Blind Date.”
In the process, Winger not only engages in dialogue with other
poets—John Thompson, Phyllis Webb, Adrienne Rich, Ghalib,
and more—but also welcomes other voices, measures, and musical phrases into his couplets. Here, Rimbaud rubs shoulders with
Joe Strummer and David Byrne; Dylan exchanges one-liners with
Gaston Bachelard; Johnny Cash spars with the Fisk Jubilee Singers;
and Gretzky makes a pass to a smooth right winger. Drifting from razor-carved sternums, to Lhasa runways,
to Southeast Asian temples and beaches, to eighteenth-century
shipwrecks, bloody tanks, rusty apartheid, blind genocide and
burning teddy bears, The Chimney Stone urges us to re-examine
not only how we order the contemporary world, but also how
we become its citizens or revolutionaries, grandparents or kids,
protestors or politicians. Ethically charged, tenderly observed, and
masterfully realized, Winger’s poems are a vital addition to the
ghazal’s continued evolution. Poetry

Dease River in northwestern BC. With acutely spare storytelling,
Wigmore teases out the nuances between a man and a woman as
they meet, travel together, dodge rocks in a boulder garden, and fish
their way down the river. Both characters have recently set themselves
adrift from previous lives—and both desire to know what or who
they should anchor themselves to. They struggle for power on the
river, negotiating sex and rhetoric on the sandbanks and in the canoe.
Ultimately their five days together culminate with the inevitable
choice to come ashore or stay on course. Gillian Wigmore grew up in Vanderhoof, BC and currently
lives in Prince George. She has been published in Geist, CV2, filling station, and the Inner Harbour Review, among others. Her first
poetry collection, Soft Geography (Caitlin), won the ReLit Award for

Whitewater Devils
Adventure on Wild Waters
Jack Boudreau
I
n 1967, in celebration of Canada’s 100th birthday, Les Voyageurs
left Rocky Mountain House, Alberta, in ten 26-foot canoes. These
one hundred gallant men, representing eight provinces and two
territories, travelled 5,286 kilometres to Expo ’67 in Montreal. The
trip took them across such major lakes as Winnipeg, Lake of the
Woods, Superior, Nipissing, Huron and Georgian Bay and through
68 grueling portages. After 104 days of travel, the team from
Manitoba paddled into the Expo site as the winners and claimed
first prize.
In Whitewater Devils Boudreau includes an unbelievable
collection of adventures that take place on, in and below the raging
rivers and mighty lakes of BC. There are the “grizzly” stories of
wildlife photographer Leon Lorenz and the tales of Ian Norn, whose
love of kayaking has taken him to roaring rapids and canyons that
were out of the reach of humans just a few short years ago. Then
there is diver Russ Logan, whose normal day on the job sends him
swimming through 85 feet of 36-inch pipe beneath four feet of
riverbed or, on another occasion, into the darkness of the Nechako
River to remove a drowned moose that was caught in the trash rack
of a pulp mill.
In his eighth collection, Boudreau once again shares the
stories of the brave, adventurous—sometimes foolhardy—men
and women of Northern BC and beyond.

DOUBLE OR NOTHING
The Flying Fur Buyer of Anahim Lake
Darcy Christensen with Sage Birchwater
L
ife has always been a bit of a gamble for Darcy Christensen.
Born in Ocean Falls in 1929, he was raised in Bella Coola Valley
and Anahim Lake on the Chilcotin Plateau. The Christensen family
were among the earliest white settlers on the Central Coast and
West Chilcotin and his maternal grandfather, John Clayton, was the
Hudson’s Bay Company’s last trading post factor in Bella Coola. For
over thirty years Darcy ran the general store in Anahim Lake that
had been operated by his family for more than a century.
In the 1970s Christensen bought a plane and took some flying lessons. Using his bush plane equipped with skis he delivered
groceries to people living in the outlying area and purchased furs
from trappers as far north as Babine and Takla Lake. In no time, he
gained acclaim as the “Flying Fur Buyer” of the Cariboo Chilcotin.
Christensen says, “All anyone had to do was wave a mink pelt at me
and I’d land and buy their fur.”
Whether it was playing poker as a youngster with the ranch
hands on the Cless Pocket Ranch, doing stunts with his airplane, or
flipping double or nothing with customers for a grocery order in
his store, Darcy has always had a penchant for gambling. He says
his jousts with Lady Luck helped break the boredom and monotony
of life on the frontier.
Double or Nothing is a journey into the West Chilcotin where
Christensen describes his raw and adventurous life and his friendship and encounters with such legends as Pan Phillips, Lester
Dorsey, Mickey Dorsey, Domas Squinas, Fred Engebretson and
Clayton Mack.
Darcy Christensen was born in Ocean Falls in 1929. He purchased
the AC Christensen general store from his father in the ’60s and ran
it for over three decades. In the ’70s he bought a plane, got a license
to fly and became the only flying fur buyer in the region. He now
lives in Williams Lake, BC.
Sage Birchwater is the author of Chiwid and Williams Lake:
Gateway to the Cariboo Chilcotin. He was a staff writer for the
Williams Lake Tribune until 2009, and is the editor of Gumption &
Grit: Extraordinary Women of the Cariboo Chilcotin (Caitlin Press,
2009). Sage still lives in Williams Lake, BC, and continues to write
about the Chilcotin.

Edge of the Sound
Memoirs of a West Coast Log Salvager
Jo Hammond
W
hen 25-year-old Jo climbed down the ramp of the freighter
Canadian Star to set foot in Vancouver, BC, in the summer
of 1967, she’d never heard of log salvaging. But within two-and-ahalf years, the immigrant from England would quit her teaching
job and join forces with one of the most enigmatic salvagers of
the Sunshine Coast. Dick and Jo Hammond spent a life together
chasing logs, rescuing boaters in distress, and raising their two
children in BC’s log salvaging mecca, Howe Sound.
Combining Dick’s guidance and her stubborn nature to master all challenges, Jo learned to maneuver their salvage boat, drive
dogs and tie knots, sing arias to the sea lions and suckle her child
while chasing rogue logs.
Edge of the Sound is both a love story and a tale of adventure
between a man with an uncommonly high IQ who found his niche
behind the wheel of a salvaging boat and a young woman searching
for her own place in the world. Their bond was the risk of the wild
and unpredictable sea, classical music, the beauty of the natural
west coast and the rise and fall of tides that help and hinder their
hunt for logs that have escaped between forest and mill. As they
work against the forces of nature, Jo Hammond learns to change
and she learns to “expect the unexpected.”

A Thoroughly Wicked Woman
Murder, Perjury and Trial by Newspaper
Betty Keller
O
n a foggy evening in November 1905, 48-year-old Thomas
Jackson returned to his home on Melville Street in Vancouver
after nine months of prospecting north of the Skeena. Jackson was
happy because he had made an important gold strike. Four days
later he was dead from strychnine poisoning. Any of the other four
people living in the house on Melville Street could have slipped
the poison into the mixture of Epsom salts and beer that Jackson
took on the morning of his death. Reporters from Vancouver’s
newspapers chose Jackson’s teary-eyed, fragile, 24-year-old wife,
Theresa, as their first choice for the guilty party. Then as the days
went by, their preference shifted to the dead man’s steely-eyed,
light-fingered, American mother-in-law, Esther Jones. Suspicion
also fell on the two boarders—Esther's nephew Harry Fisher and
Ernest Exall. All of them had the opportunity to plant the poison.
Eventually the police followed up on the newspapers’ revelations, the most important being that Harry Fisher was not Esther’s
nephew but her son. Fisher fled to Washington, and in his absence
his mother and sister were arrested—not for murder but for perjured testimony at the coroner’s inquest.
What followed was a series of hearings and trials in the city’s
courtrooms with fledgling lawyers trying to make their names in
combat with the celebrated defence counsel Joseph Martin, KC. At
the same time the newspapers, which were locked in a deadly circulation war, tried desperately to trump each other with juicy bits of
information, all of it splashed on their front pages week after week.
In the end the two women served time in the BC Penitentiary, but
no one was ever tried for the murder of Thomas Jackson.
Acclaimed writer Betty Keller has based her sensational
story of murder and intrigue on actual events that occurred in
Vancouver’s pre-World War I years.
Betty Keller was born in Vancouver, BC, and moved to the
Sunshine Coast in 1980. She is a teacher, mentor, editor and a
writer, and has authored or co-authored seventeen books, including
biographies, histories, plays and novels. She is a founder of the
Sunshine Coast’s Festival of the Written Arts and the Writersin-Residence Program. Betty has won numerous awards for her
literary work. She is an avid potter, gardener and fisherperson.

All Those Drawn to Me
Christian Petersen
T
he junction of Highways 20 and 97 forms a rough right angle
around which lies the city of Williams Lake. These are the
coordinates by which Christian Petersen’s fiction can be charted.
From the building of the Gaol at Soda Creek to ruminations on the
origins of the Barkerville fire, All Those Drawn to Me explores the
unpredictable, romantic and spiritual qualities of life in rural BC.
The harshness of the wild west permeates Petersen’s second collection of short fiction. In the story “Horse from Persia,” a
condemned man contemplates the injustice of life at his hanging
speech: “I wished mightily that I could climb up on that horse and
escape the sorrowful puzzle my days had become. For if it’s true
time is a gift, mine was not altogether pleasant.” But Petersen is
just as comfortable extrapolating truths from present-day life, as
in “Laketown Breakdown” where a young man struggles to stay on
the right side of the law while coping with the death of his parents.
And in the title story, “All Those Drawn to Me,” Petersen creates a
masterful blend, shifting from the gold rush to the contemporary
with three motives, three lives and three battles with death on the
treacherous waters of the Upper Quesnel River.
Whether in the past or present, Petersen’s characters explore
romance, poverty and spiritual quandaries as they wander amid the
landscape and back streets of the dusty little cities of BC’s Central
Interior.

Violence Against Women

here is an epidemic of violence against women in Canada and

subject of violence against women including contributions by Kate
Braid, Yasuko Thahn and Susan Musgrave.
Walk Myself Home began as a small idea: to create a chapbook
and sell it at the next LoudSpeaker Festival. The response was overwhelming. This small idea found a chorus of voices, and its sound
was too big for a chapbook. Andrea Routley is the co-founder of Victoria, BC’s

Still Fishin’
The BC Fishing Industry Revisited
Alan Haig-Brown
It is generally known that the West Coast’s once-great commercial fishing
industry has fallen on hard times, but as Alan Haig-Brown demonstrates in
this new book, reports of its demise are exaggerated. A veteran of the industry
himself, Haig-Brown here offers a “state of the industry” report, discovering
pockets of surprising activity among the vistas of closed processing plants,
downsized fleets and corporate concentration. Is the whole fishing industry
now on life support? It seems to be headed that way, but this book offers many
practical and persuasive reasons why it doesn’t have to be.

Dal Richards and author Jim Taylor recount the life story of the legendary

the wannabes, the hustlers and bootleggers and hat check chicks, all of
whom paraded through his life in the days when Vancouver’s nightclub
scene rivalled San Francisco’s and Hollywood’s big-name performers
made it a regular tour stop. This story takes a loving look back at the gigs,
laughter and musical misadventures of a time when the songs came from
records and radio instead of CDs and iPods. At 91, Dal is still going strong:
on his 90th birthday he sold out the Orpheum Theatre.

The Al Purdy A-Frame Anthology
Edited by Paul Vermeersch, introduction by Dennis Lee
This is a book with a mission. On one level it is a celebration of the great
Canadian poet Al Purdy by eminent writers who were his contemporaries.
On another it is a celebration of the place that was the centre of Purdy’s
writing universe—his lakeside A-frame cottage in Ameliasburgh, Ontario,
where he lived for 43 years. The Purdy A-frame served as a kind of tribal
mustering place for notable Canadian writers from the 1950s to the
1990s including Margaret Atwood, Michael Ondaatje, George Bowering,
Margaret Laurence, Milton Acorn, Janet Lunn, Patrick Lane and a host of
others. Proceeds from The Al Purdy A-Frame Anthology will go towards
preserving the Purdy home as a retreat for future generations of Canadian
writers.

Only in Whistler
From Fox Moths to Jet Rangers
Stephen Vogler is one of those rare Whistlerites who actually grew up in
Whistler and he has for some years been running a one-man crusade to
prove his hometown is not only a bona fide community, but a uniquely
interesting one. Gradually the “high” spirits of the incoming snow hippies
melded with the soberer tradition of the transplanted Tyroleans to
produce a hybrid “only in Whistler” character that is equally devoted to
serious skiing and unserious living.
From Fox Moths to Jet Rangers is a memorable story from Canada’s bush
flying heritage. Harvey Evans was only eighteen years old when he earned
his commercial pilot’s licence in 1952, just as the aviation industry was
emerging from the shadow of WWII, and he racked up an impressive
20,000 hours of flying time before filing his final flight plan in 1994. It was
a remarkable and distinguished career that began in the old days of bush
flying, then moved on to the early days of commercial helicopter work and
extended into the time of flying by computer.

Cold sleep permanent afternoon
Ray Hsu
Cold Sleep Permanent Afternoon, the follow-up to Ray Hsu’s award-winning first collection, Anthropy, is the second book
in a prospective trilogy that explores the “grammar of personhood.” Whereas Anthropy approached the human condition
through the prism of first-, second- and third-person perspectives, Cold Sleep Permanent Afternoon uses the grammatical concepts of singular and plural as grid-lines to chart contemporary life and concerns both harrowing and humane.
Extending from this principal division, Hsu explores the borders between civic engagement and domesticity, dissent and
accord, freedom and restriction—each of these are tested against another and framed by the tension between the collective and the individual. With Cold Sleep Permanent Afternoon, Ray Hsu presents our landscape in stark light, confronting
the human drama that is manifesting within our lives, and investigating how we make sense of ourselves and the world we
have wrought.

Jay MillAr
Jay MillAr’s poetry resists classification. This book, being a collection of Other Poems, is an assemblage of seemingly
disparate materials—the poems are of various lengths, subjects and origins and were composed over the past ten years of
this prolific author’s life. Reading this book is likened to finding a box of photographs in a thrift store; here lies a miscellany
of meaning that offers an intimate view of MillAr’s “direct manner of spoken mind.”
Jay MillAr is a Toronto poet, editor, publisher and virtual bookseller. He is the author of the small blue (2007), False
Maps for Other Creatures (2005), Mycological Studies (2002), and The Ghosts of Jay MillAr (2000). His most recent collection
is esp : accumulation sonnets (2009). In 2006, he published Double Helix, a collaborative novel written with Stephen Cain.
He is also the author of many chapbooks and privately published editions such as Lack Lyrics, which tied to win the 2008
bpNichol Chapbook Award. MillAr is the shadowy figure behind BookThug, a publishing house dedicated to exploratory
work by well-known and emerging North American writers, as well as Apollinaire’s Bookshoppe, a virtual bookstore that
specializes in the books that no one wants to buy. Currently MillAr teaches Creative Writing and Poetics at George Brown

Jim Johnstone
Patternicity follows the author’s debut book of poems, The Velocity of Escape (Guernica Editions, 2008), which contained a
suite of poems that won a 2008 CBC Literary Award. As a physiologist currently completing his Ph.D. at the University of
Toronto, Johnstone’s work is informed by a scientific approach, his own corporeal environment and an exploration of “the
unreliability of language, regardless of how it’s relayed.”
Jim Johnstone obtained his M.Sc. in Reproductive Physiology from the University of Toronto, where he is currently
a doctoral candidate. He is a two-time winner of the E. J. Pratt Medal and Prize in Poetry, the recipient of a 2008 CBC
Literary Award and his work has been broadcast on CBC Radio’s Between the Covers and published in Canadian periodicals such as The Fiddlehead, Grain and PRISM International. Currently he edits Misunderstandings Magazine, a literary

histories haunt us
Triny Finlay
In Triny Finlay’s second collection of poetry, she asks what it means to
let in the ghosts of the past. Will memories loosen the frame of a life?
Will subtle fears take over? Finlay plumbs the depths of family life as
she negotiates the territories of ancestry, love and new motherhood: a
great-grandmother who went to bed for seventeen years; a lover caught
with somebody else; a son’s critical illness—things that “encroach, they
devastate, so that you must decide: you are an anchor or you are not.”
This is a fragile world, in which rivers overflow and fear can become
paralyzing. But there is hope here, too, for the “lusty aria” of the newborn
child, for “a look we might have missed, in a different room,” for the falling
leaves that return to the ground, that recover us.

shortlisted for the 2009 bc book prizes dorothy ivesay poetry prize
How do we reconcile story with fact? What must one lose for the other

and how it morphs in time to retain cultural and personal significance.
Folk tales, supernatural creatures, family histories and personal elegies
come together to expose the cohabitation of the dead and the living; the
relationship between cold absence and stark presence.
Stephen Rowe was a finalist for the Fresh Fish Award for Emerging
Writers and his poetry has appeared in The Antigonish Review, CV2, Iota,
The Newfoundland Quarterly, The Panhandler, Paragon, Rhythm Poetry
Magazine, The Society 2008 and The Toronto Quarterly. He was born in

The story of the railway has never been told in such a charming voice as
in these letters by Bernice Medbury Martin. Bernice Medbury married
railroader Leslie Martin in 1912 and arrived in Prince Rupert at the height
of rock blasting and railroad building. Lonely for her family in Wisconsin,
Bernice wrote frequent letters home in which she described in striking
detail the machinery and mudslides, the weather and the wilderness, the
local characters and the outrageous cost of supplies. Bernice’s letters span
the two final years of Grand Trunk Pacific Railway track building and are
neatly woven together by Jane Stevenson’s well-researched narration.

More Campfire Stories
Jack Boudreau
In 1934 international entrepreneur Charles Bedeaux hired a team of
men to trail blaze from Edmonton, Alberta, to Telegraph Creek, BC.
While Bedeaux hob-nobbed with Europe’s elite, the others suffered near
starvation in BC’s harshest wilderness. This is just one of many stories
gleaned from the memories of pioneers, but as Boudreau discovers,
many possessed an intangible mettle and a sense of humour that saw
them through rough times. Boudreau’s extraordinary research has also
uncovered a collection of intriguing previously unpublished photographs.

Simon Fraser
In Search of Modern British Columbia
Stephen Hume
winner of THE 2009 roderick haig-brown
regional bc book prize
In 1808 seeking a navigable route to the western sea for
the North West Company, Simon Fraser descended the
great river that now bears his name. Most of us learn
that much in school—but who was this blunt, tenacious man, and what drove him to make a dangerous
journey halfway across an uncharted continent?
Journalist and poet Stephen Hume followed in
Fraser’s footsteps and canoe wake for four years. He
studied fading maps and diaries in archives across
North America, interviewed the descendants of people who aided Fraser and
retraced Fraser’s route across British Columbia’s vast and varied landscape.
Hume found Fraser’s own blazes and signs in the wild terrain that the
Nor’wester crossed with the help of aboriginal peoples, all the way from the Rocky
Mountains to the mouth of the ferocious river we call the Fraser. This is the story
of diligent research and reconstruction of his route, the rigours of early 19thcentury travel and the peoples and places he saw and recorded.
Simon Fraser is the story of Fraser’s great journey, but not solely from a historian’s or biographer’s pen. Hume writes with his usual lyrical power based on a
profound knowledge of the landscape and history of BC.

A History
David Lee
“It rips, and cuts, it makes a horrible
racket—a chainsaw is a frightening
thing. I write not to glorify its terrible
power but to acknowledge its place
in the most sweeping revolution that
technology has wrought in the 20th
century—the revolution of individual
empowerment.”
So begins author David Lee in this
first-ever book on the worldwide history of the chainsaw, an invention that
transformed the forest industry and eventually became the indispensable companion of every red-blooded country dweller. From 600-pound steam-powered
behemoths to gas chainsaws mounted on wheeled carriages to diesel chainsaws
and electric chainsaws with portable generators, this book musters a curious
collection of contraptions and inventors the like of which we haven’t seen since
Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines. Carefully tracing the evolutionary
threads of countless short-lived pioneer devices, Lee works with a worldwide network of chainsaw buffs to trace the roaring, woodchip-and-oil-sprayed progress
of what is now a lightweight modern machine that holds a place of honour in the
world’s woodsheds.

David Zieroth

THE FLY IN AUTUMN
winner of the 2009 governor general’s award for poetry
The Fly in Autumn is a nuanced work that constantly
shifts between the inane and the macabre, between
black humour and self-mockery. From North
Vancouver sleet and fog to palominos and Baghdad,
from the inevitability of dying to the cockiness of
flight, from Dick and Jane readers to insurance clerks,
The Fly in Autumn willingly, knowingly, risks the
reader’s unease by going beyond the usual contemporary mode into language that is more penetrating,
more tender than ironic.

PATRICK FRIESEN
One Muddy Hand
Selected Poems
Earle Birney, edited by Sam Solecki
Earle Birney (1904–1995), the father of modern
Canadian poetry, was one of Canada’s finest writers
and the author of “David,” arguably the most popular
Canadian poem of all time. One Muddy Hand features
Birney’s best work, spanning his entire writing career
from 1926 to 1987.

Earth’s Crude Gravities
A compelling series of poems on the world of matter
and the world of spirit. Acclaimed poet Patrick Friesen
muses on the religion that has been such a key part of
his own background—but he also raises uncertainties.
Whether discussing his love of the material world or
fictional creation, his poetry is elegant, eloquent and
imagistic.

Rain before Morning
Michael Poole
When Nathan and Leah meet in Silva Landing, on the
Sunshine Coast, in 1913, it is love at first sight; but they
find their passion tested at every turn. Leah engages in a
battle of wills with her mother; Nathan wants a university
education almost as much as he wants Leah; both of
them struggle to suppress their desire for each other until
they are truly ready to start a family. A timeless, universal
tale of passion, war, tragedy and the power of love.
The Breath You Take From the Lord

The Human Shore
The Human Shore is an accomplished collection of

Barry Dempster has called Thornton’s poems
“expansive, exquisitely detailed, eloquently transformative” and Patrick Lane deems them “impeccable in their
craft.” By turns elegant and shocking—and often both
at once—The Human Shore promises to leave an indelible mark on Canadian poetry.

Though his poems are often dark and edgy, he shows
us beauty in a scream, ecstasy in violence and, in a
dying breath, the universe.

Boys, Girls and Body Science
A First Book about Facts of Life
Meg Hickling, illustrated by Kim La Fave
“an excellent resource that will make life
easier for parents struggling to find the words
to explain reproduction and sex to their children.”
—Quill & Quire
With humour and sensitivity, Boys, Girls &
Body Science provides no-nonsense answers
for children—and parents—with questions
about sex. Specifically designed for young
readers, Boys, Girls & Body Science walks
children through the wonders of their bodies in a direct, easy-to-read manner.
The story begins with Nicholas, 7, and Jenny, 5, learning about different types of
science in their class—from ecology to the digestive system. Then Meg Hickling,
a guest speaker, comes to talk to them about a new type of science. Hickling
talks about the “science names” for the children’s body parts, about good and bad
touches and about making babies. She coaches the children not to be embarrassed
or shy about body science: “We are going to make this just like a science lesson,
we will learn to think like a scientist and we will learn the scientific names for our
private parts,” she says.

in the city, writing, rejection letters from publishers, jobs,
and a rocky relationship, Taking the Stairs is fast-moving,

BC, on a long and painful road to sobriety. It begins on a
tragic Halloween evening in 1975 when two men lose their
lives and another is saved by a friend who chooses not
to be destroyed by his own tragedy and devastating loss.
Jacob’s Prayer is the haunting and poetic story of a community’s suffering, loss and eventual healing.

FINDING Ft. GEORGE
Rob Budde
lan(d)guage
a sequence of poetics
In Ken Belford’s fifth book of poetry he takes us on
a journey through Canada’s roadless north where he
looks out at industrialism and its impact on a region
abundant in resources and natural beauty.
Lan(d)guage is an unsentimental and non-reactionary
perspective, a deep investigation of the psychology of
both the electronic revolution and postmodernism.
Finding Ft. George is the poetic record of Rob Budde’s
growing love of Prince George and the Cariboo northcentral region of BC. The poems are an act of discovery and
they describe the various social, political, historical and
environmental systems that Budde encounters with the eye
of a patient, astute observer. Sometimes gritty, sometimes
ironic, the poems are all love poems to a new home—gifts
of arrival.

Fiona Tinwei Lam
Enter the Chrysanthemum is a luminous collection that
takes us on a keen-eyed journey from childhood to parenthood: from a child’s perspective of her parents, through to
the transition to adulthood as a single parent, then finally
to the witnessing of a parent’s decline and death. Lam’s
new collection is fundamentally as much an exploration of
profound loss as it is of love and an individual’s reconnection to humanity. Enter the Chrysanthemum is her second
book of poetry.

“What a wonderful, fresh voice Gillian Wigmore brings to

she is writing about a near drowning or ice fishing, she is
ultimately writing about the complications of love. These

The Glenn Gould Poems
Kate Braid
PATIENCE OF DEARING BAY
A Well-Mannered Storm is an exploration of loose correspondence between one of Canada’s greatest musicians,
Glenn Gould, and K, an admiring fan. Braid weaves an intimate dynamic as K struggles with the loss of her hearing
in one ear, finding her greatest comfort in Gould’s music—
particularly when he plays Bach.
Patience of Dearing Bay does for the Newfoundland outports what Anne of Green Gables did for Prince Edward
Island—not only a poignant story of a young girl’s coming
