A “first novel from an author short-listed for the Giller Prize … is an extraordinary work—inventive, eclectic, heartfelt, playful, angry, often brilliantly written, mingling myth and actuality, with characters waking from various ‘dreams’ into various realities.” —Harvey De Roo reviews Variations on a Dream, by Angélique Lalonde (Toronto: McClelland and Stewart, 2026) $26.95 / 9780771012600
Thoughtful volume, a long poem and “book of praise,” presents an argument about myth, spirituality, and evolutionary progress via luscious imagery and rolling metrical rhythms. —Harold Rhenisch reviews The Making: A Poem, by Brian Day (Eugene: Resource Publications, 2024) $30.00 / 9781666779479
