    Hot off the press

    On Spinning Side Kick:

    "Rapid, it renders you dizzy. Solid, it knocks you off balance. Swift and sudden, its surprises leave you winded. This is Spinning Side Kick."—The Telegraph


    On Gift Horse:

    "It’s rare to encounter a poet who can weave economics, wildlife preservation, public policy, personal and civic history, epidemiology and gastronomy together into the tapestry of metaphor using such deceptively simple language." —National Post


    On Skullduggery:Skullduggery

    "A delight to read and read again. Asa Boxer is a true master of language- and he knows it. This collection is at once belly-shakingly funny, piercingly insightful, ironic, and melodically composed... .If poetry was ever 'meant' to be some way, this is it." —2011 QWF Jury


    On With a Closed Fist:

    "This is a wicked, incisive, brutal memoir that moves with breakneck speed from incident to incident, from rats in the toilet to roaches cascading down walls, from lecherous uncles to empty fridges, from angry cops to unforgivably naive social worker students." —The Globe and Mail

    On The Id Kid:

    "Linda Besner’s The Id Kid is the standout of the season." —The National Post


    On Boxing the Compass:

    "Boxing the Compass, is excellent. Greene avoids the mundane through
    the clarity of his observation, the ingenuity of his rhyme, and the
    modesty of his wisdom." —University of Toronto Quarterly

    "This book is alive with small pleasures." —The Globe & Mail
