Praise for Mary Dalton's Merrybegot:

"Make no mistake, these poems are beautifully made." –The Globe & Mail

Advance Praise for The Grey Tote:

"The Grey Tote is impressive for its attitude and language–its direct expression of fear, its realization of mortality in the technological labyrinth. The style is direct, spare, hard, clear, but with elegance and significant whimsy." –A.F. Moritz

Sumptuary Laws
Nyla Matuk

 

Praise for Robert Moore:

A poet of vast reference, combining interests in Greek myth, popular culture, natural observation, autobiography and, of course, literature.—George Elliot Clarke

Praise for Rhea Tregebov:

[Tregebov] can be recommended not only to the only people poets suspect ever read their work (other poets) but also to all those greater multitudes who customarily don’t, and among these, in particular, to parents, nurses, doctors, and gardeners. –Elizabeth Harvor

Praise for Pierre Nepveu’s Mirabel:

There is something familiar about this constrained and passionate book, how it sings to the little woodland, how it yearns for green…. Mirabel is moving, and all of it is skillful, each line, just bang on in its simplicity. –Sina Queyras

On Sumptuary Laws:

Make no mistake, Sumptuary Laws is a signpost book deserving of wide attention.”—The Urge
