ANNE KELLAS
Ways to Say Goodbye
In this collection the reader is taken through dream sequences, abstract, ekphrastic and imagistic poems as well as deeply personal poems of loss. The effect is a cumulative building of a quiet world of reflective resilience as the poet tries out possible ways to do what is almost impossible – to love and to say goodbye.
These poems, their accounts of the ways art, chance talk, angels, birds, memories and music can come at us with terrible and tender truths, are gifts that teach us how ‘to read the mind of clouds. Kevin Brophy

DIANE FAHEY
The Light Café
“The poems in this wonderful book trace the most subtle shifts of light, the lives of clouds and birds, with such delicacy and intensity as to make them sources of revelation. The experiences registered in The Light Café may seem to be at the margins of the mind’s usual range of attentiveness, at the edges of consciousness, but Diane Fahey’s writing gives them the weight of centrality, of newly revealed depths both in the natural world and in human perceptiveness itself.” Ross Gillett

ANNE M. CARSON
The Detective’s Chair:
Prose Poems about Fictional Detectives
Do you love detective fiction or intriguing character studies? Have you ever thought about that creative spark that solves the puzzle? Drawing inspiration from a range of her favourite fictional detectives, Anne M. Carson has created a wonderful, whimsical collection of 32 short prose poems which suggests a creative correlation between problem solving and the crafting of a poem.
In a playful homage to these colourful fictional sleuths, Carson focuses in on the nature of creativity itself, acknowledging that it’s often in these moments of reflective ‘sitting,’ away from the bustle of clue collecting and intentional effort, that the pieces of the ‘solution’ – be it crime or poem – might start coming together. Each poem is beautifully illustrated with delicate line drawings by René Carrasco, bringing to life the different space of reflective possibility for that detective.
