All the Animals on Earth
by Mark Sampson
Earth’s population quadruples overnight with the appearance of strange
new beings known as “Blomers.”
Now human, or at least human-like, Blomers bring with them certain
talents based on their forebears: foxes are mathematically inclined, blue
jays are visually artistic and gophers are courageous and strong. But with
these aptitudes come a predilection for a free and open sexuality and
a tendency toward violence among their own kind. Humans are at best
bemused and at worst horrified by the Blomers’ bizarre behaviour.
Buttoned-down insurance manager Hector Thompson hates two things:
change and science fiction. Finding himself in the middle of both, Hector
must embark on a road trip across North America to reckon with the
full impact of pullulation and what responsibilities he has to the rapidly
changing society in which he lives.
Mark Sampson is the author of five previous books: the novels The Slip

Girl Minus X
by Anne Stone
Fifteen-year-old Dany is trying to survive with her little sister, Mac, in a
world collapsing under the weight of a slow, creeping virus that erodes
memory. As their identities slip away from them, the late-stage infected
are quarantined by the Ministry of Disease Control in prison-hospices,
military camps where some of Dany’s family have already been taken.
When a new and more virulent strain of the disease emerges and Dany
begins to experience symptoms, the sisters are cast into crisis. As they
try to escape the city together with Dany’s best friend, Eva, and history
teacher, Mr. Faraday, Dany comes to see the ways in which her own fear
has carried her trauma with her. As her past erodes, Dany’s present
flickers into full fluorescence.
Elegant and thoughtful, Girl Minus X is a novel in which a young girl
navigates her trauma in a world that can’t help but forget.
Anne Stone is the author of three novels, Delible (2007), Hush (1999) and
jacks: a gothic gospel (1998). She is currently at work on a collection of

Locations of Grief: An Emotional Geography
edited by Catherine Owen
Locations of Grief: An Emotional Geography is a commemoration of the
“homesick grief for the lost places of your past” or, as the Welsh call it,
“hiraeth.” In these pages, Catherine Owen has selected a remarkable
collection of stories of healing pain and reflections on what death can do
to our lives. Exploring the landscapes of grief and death, this collection
takes the reader through a series of essays, drawn together from twenty-
five Canadian writers that reach across different ages, ethnicities and
gender identities as they share their thoughts, struggles and journeys
relating to death. Be it the meditation on the loss of a beloved dog who
once belonged to a departed parent, the tragic suicide of a stranger or
the deep pain of losing a brother, Locations of Grief is defined by its range
of essays exploring all the facets of mourning, and how the places in our
lives can be irreversibly changed by the lingering presence of death.

Revery: A Year of Bees
by Jenna Butler
“I hope you’re okay in there, lovelies. I hope you’re warm.” After five
years of working with bees on her farm in northern Alberta, Jenna Butler
shares with the reader the rich experience of keeping hives. Starting
with a rare bright day in late November as the bees are settling in for
winter she takes us through a year in beekeeping on her small piece of
the boreal forest. Weaving together her personal story with the practical
aspects of running a farm she takes us into the worlds of honeybees and
wild bees. She considers the twinned development of the canola and
honey industries in Alberta and the impact of crop sprays; debates the
impact of introduced flowers versus native flowers, the effect of colony
collapse disorder and the protection of natural environments for wild
bees. But this is also the story of women and bees and how beekeeping
became Jenna Butler’s personal survival story.
Jenna Butler is the author of three critically acclaimed books of poetry,
Seldom Seen Road (NeWest Press, 2013), Wells (University of Alberta
Press, 2012) and Aphelion (NeWest Press, 2010); an award-winning

Double Self-Portrait
by James Lindsay
Double Self-Portrait explores doubling and reproduction in art, memory,
culture, nostalgia and fatherhood. Divided by four longer, more
autobiographical poems, Double Self-Portait is a deeply layered collection,
one that at times speaks directly to the reader and at other times is meta-
textual. Bees, cicadas, music and photography swirl through these poems,
bounded as they are by the resistance to and embracing of responsibility.
This is a collection where the poems work individually and together,
subtly building toward a single theme that slowly coalesces during the
reading to create a collection that resonates in your mind long after the
book is closed.

Cephalopography 2.0
by Rasiqra Revulva
Cephalopography 2.0 is as much a passionate celebration of cephalopods
in all their plurality and finery as it is a collection of poems exploring
human identity and experience through the lens of these marine
animals. Through experimental takes on traditional poetic forms such
as ghazals, tankas and cinquains, as well as more contemporary forms,
Rasiqra Revulva delves into ecopoetics and marine biology, creating
unique and beautifully composed poems. Cephalopography 2.0 plunges
into the depths of human experience to pull out diverse perspectives of
how cephalopods and humanity are linked together in ways that stretch
beyond the land and the sea.
Rasiqra Revulva is a queer femme writer, multimedia artist, editor,
musician, performer and SciComm advocate. She is an editor of

The Only Card in a Deck of Knives
by Lauren Turner
The Only Card in a Deck of Knives is a groundbreaking new collection
in the area of sickness poetry. Within these poems, Lauren Turner
aims to reclaim the “hysterical” label given to sick women throughout
history. Rather than shying away from the emotional urgency and
raw vulnerability surrounding a terminal diagnosis, Turner shines
an interrogative light upon it. These fierce poems are written from
the perspective of a twentysomething female speaker with a terminal
disease, a speaker who is preoccupied with maintaining the illusion of
health, but then refers to herself as “dying” in the next line. Fascinated
and repelled by the societal impulse to gussy up diseases that take
violent, and sometimes deadly, tolls upon women’s bodies, Turner uses
these lyric poems to juxtapose the violence of a gendered illness with
the violence encountered by women and non-binary people in society.
The Only Card in a Deck of Knives unpacks society’s impulse to pull away
from sick women and examines why we discredit their professed pain,
symptoms and emotions.
Lauren Turner is a disabled poet and essayist, who wrote the chapbook,
We’re Not Going to Do Better Next Time (knife | fork | book, 2018). Her
work has appeared in Grain, Arc Magazine, Poetry is Dead, Cosmonauts

Moving to Climate Change Hours
by Ross Belot
Ross Belot’s latest collection is a dark ode to the end of oil. From industrial
accidents to frozen highways Belot charts the ends of a life that face a
working man in stripped-down lyric poetry. These are poems that have
seen it all and acknowledge the darkness that’s coming while still finding
beauty in the arched neck of a tundra swan. Belot has a filmmaker’s
sense of atmosphere and an environmentalist’s urgency and his stark
lines take the reader deep into the heart of industrial man.
Ross Belot is a poet, photographer, documentary filmmaker, and an
energy and climate change columnist. He previously worked for a major
Canadian petroleum company for decades before retiring in 2014. Now
he writes ecopoetics and opinion pieces about government climate

Archaic Torso of Gumby
by Geoffrey Morrison and Matthew Tomkinson
Archaic Torso of Gumby is a series of interlinked stories and essays by
Geoffrey Morrison and Matthew Tomkinson that explore the gooey,
prickly, sticky materials of late-capitalist pop culture, from video games
to claymation to children’s picture books commissioned by oil and gas
companies. Here lyric essay, personal memoir, fable, pseudohistory and
science fiction all coexist alongside more conventional short story forms.
Each part reveals unlikely connections between subjects as different as
a sentient wallet, a gathering of headless saints, abject descriptions of
3D-printed food, a sixteenth-century courtier who thinks he’s a horse, a
virtual reality religious experience and a couple with a fetish involving
crustaceans. By turns cerebral, goofy and heartfelt, Archaic Torso of
Gumby is a delirious rabbit hole for the adventurous reader.
Geoffrey Morrison studied English literature at Simon Fraser
University (BA), the University of Western Ontario (MA) and, for a
year, the University of Toronto. His poems have appeared in Grain,
PRISM, The Malahat Review, Lemon Hound and elsewhere. He was

Amy LeBlanc’s debut poetry collection, I Know Something You Don’t
Know, resides in the intersection of folklore and femininity. With fairy-

noxious like hemlock, foxglove and blooming wildflowers.
”Armed with an unusual eye for beauty, Amy LeBlanc rejects traditional
notions of personhood in I Know Something You Don’t Know, and instead
reworks characters from mythology and folklore to create formidable
new avatars. Even if there are moments where LeBlanc ‘dress[es]
disease / in linen gloves,’ there’s no escaping the virulent impact of her
narratives, or the full-force of her superb debut.” – Jim Johnstone, editor

Night Lunch is a shapeshifting sonnet sequence set in the cold waters
off the North Coast of Labrador. Reflecting Chaulk’s own experience, the
speaker – a young deckhand on a freight and passenger ferry servicing
isolated communities – endures long irregular work hours, weather,
icebergs and loneliness, all the while navigating the taut intersections
of race, labour, class, addiction and masculinity. That Chaulk has Inuit
family in and from Labrador makes this debut poetic journey a cultural
coming-home for the young deckhand, as chronicled in supple, powerful
verse.
Mike Chaulk lives in Guelph, Ontario, where he drives trucks full of beer
for a living. His work has appeared or is forthcoming in Best Canadian
Poetry 2018, The Malahat Review, Arc Poetry Magazine, The Puritan,
PRISM: international and filling Station, among other places. In 2015,
Chaulk co-founded &, collective, an experimental poetry collective in
Guelph, with whom he published two group chapbooks (&, 1: works by &,
collective, self-published, and &, 2: this happened to one of us, Publication
Studio Guelph). He has worked as a seaman in Labrador, Sweden and
Wales, and previously lived in Montreal for five years where he punched
time as the Associate Poetry Editor of The Incongruous Quarterly, as well
as the Editor-in-Chief of The Void Magazine at Concordia University. He
now spends a good deal of time walking his dog in the woods. 978-1-928171-94-2 6" x 9" Paperback
