May 18 marked the official release of an immensely important story: My Daughter Rehtaeh Parsons by Glen Canning with Susan McClelland.
Into the Outdoors
With May comes warm weather and an insatiable itch to get out and explore — deep into the woods or deep into the pages of a new book. In our curated outdoor collection, you’ll find books to shape your journeys and books that are a journey all of their own. We’ve pulled together a few book trailers for the latter to give you a taste of the kinds of natural stories you can partake in this season.
Planning your next adventure?
Whether you’re looking for a thrill-seeking expedition or a relaxing daytrip, you won’t have to travel far once you know where to look. Get to know some of your local trails, canoe routes, waterfalls, and more in this month’s curated collection.
“in my hands, the eyeless plaster cast.”
Poetry Month is drawing to a close, but that doesn’t mean we should stop enjoying and highlighting our favourite poetry and poets! Coming up May 13, 2021, at 8 PM (ADT), we will be hosting the virtual book launch of Alyda Faber’s latest poetry collection Poisonous If Eaten Raw. This event will feature a reading by the poet, a conversation with Jody Clarke, and a Q&A.
To tide you over until the big day, we wanted to share a few bonus readings by the poet herself.
“It wants to begin, original and sinful, in jest”
Next on our poetry pile is Jessie Jones’s debut poetry collection The Fool: a cutting, often dark, assessment of contemporary womanhood. This collection might have popped onto your newsfeed recently because just last week it made the shortlist for the 2021 Raymond Souster Award! In celebration, we wanted to share some readings by the poet herself.
