Tar Swanby David Martin

Tar Swan is a multi-voiced reckoning that surveys the mythos of the Alberta oil sands with an approach that is both lyrical and experimental. The poems feature four voices: an oil sands developer (in public and in private), his plant mechanic, an archeologist excavating the remains of the operation years later, and a mythical swan. David Martin’s debut collection is comprised of expansive and richly written poems, built on a lore-laden language, which explore the human and environmental cost of drawing too much from the land. As the three humans come into contact with the otherworldly swan, the voices bubble and churn together, and what is distilled is the human psychological breakdown paralleling the violence done to the earth.

Through its daring, and brilliantly challenging, use of diction, syntax and imagery, it embodies the best of contemporary experimental verse. Tar Swan urgently speaks to central concerns of our time, particularly here in Canada: the consequences of coal and oil extraction, environmental degradation, and our responsibility to the natural world.”~ CBC Poetry Prize Citation

James Watt, the inventor of the steam engine, said: ‘A demon of rotation is loose in the world.’ David Martin knows that the demon is now powered by petroleum, and he tracks it to the Alberta Tar Sands. Martin’s poems fuse research, myth and human drama into a blazing work of art.”~ Bert Almon, author of A Ghost in Waterloo Station

David Martin was born and raised in Calgary, where he lives with his wife and children. His poetry has been awarded the CBC Poetry Prize, shortlisted for the Vallum Award for Poetry and PRISM international’s poetry contest, and published in many journals and magazines across Canada. He is an instructor at The Reading Foundation, one of the organizers for Calgary’s Single Onion poetry reading series, and the frontman for an indie-pop group, The Fragments.

That Light Feeling Under Your Feet plunges headfirst into the surreal and slogging world of cruise ship workers. These masterfully crafted poems challenge perpetuating colonial and class relations, as well as the hedonistic lifestyle attributed to the employees of these floating resorts. Kayla Geitzler’s debut collection interprets isolation, alienation, racism and assimilation into the margins as inevitable consequences for the seafaring workforce of the most profitable sector of the tourism industry.

Exploring the liminal space between labour and leisure, the poems in That Light Feeling Under Your Feet are at once buoyant and weighty, with language that cuts like a keel through the sea.

Kayla Geitzler has lived in New Brunswick for most of her life, except for that time when she went away to work on cruise ships, and that other time she went Out West. She inherited an adventurous spirit from a lineage of Norwegian sea captains and an Alsatian farm boy who ran away to become a bodyguard for Napoleon Bonaparte. She holds an MA in English — Creative Writing from the University of New Brunswick and currently lives in Moncton, NB, with her shorthaired moustachioed cat and longhaired bearded boyfriend.

No mere three-hour tour, That Light Feeling Under Your Feet is an unflinching portrait of life at sea, and the discrimination, racism, and misogyny inherent in the tourism industry.”~ Jim Johnstone, author of The Chemical Life

Like a workaday Virgil, Kayla Geitzler takes us from the upper decks of rum cocktails, jackpot bingo, and conga lines into the underworkings of cruise ships— the sale-to-sail palliative powers of simulacrum, the trinket-exhausted ports, and the forced smiles of deck staff under a manager’s beady gaze. In poem after startling poem, Geitzler’s sustained meditation forces our attention back to this absurd microcosm, proving herself a provocative emissary to frantic mass tourism.”~ Tammy Armstrong, author of Take Us Quietly

Cobra Clutchby A.J. Devlin

“Hammerhead” Jed Ounstead thought he’d traded the pro-wrestling world for the slightly less dangerous one of a bar bouncer and errand boy for his father’s detective agency, but the squared circle wasn’t quite done with him yet. When his former tag-team partner draws upon their old friendship for help in finding his kidnapped pet snake, Jed finds himself dragged back into the fold of sleazy promoters, gimmicky performers, and violence inside and outside the ring. As the venom of Vancouver’s criminal underworld begins to seep into Jed’s life, a steel chair to the back of the head is the least of his problems.

Cobra Clutch is a fast-paced, hard-hitting debut novel by A.J. Devlin that features an unstoppable combo: a sig-nature move of raucous humour with a super finisher of gritty realism.

A.J. Devlin grew up in Greater Vancouver before moving to Southern California for six years where he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Screenwriting from Chapman University and a Master of Fine Arts in Screenwriting from The American Film Institute. After working as a screenwriter in Hollywood he moved back home to Port Moody, BC, where he now lives with his wife and two children.

“In this fast-paced, funny, energetic debut, Devlin ingeniously merges the worlds of pro-wrestling and private eyes into a breakneck adventure that will leave readers breathless. Intense and cinematic.”~ Sam Wiebe, author of Last of the Independents and Invisible Dead

“Hilarious, full of mischief and mayhem, Cobra Clutch is thoroughly entertaining!”~ Sheena Kamal, author of The Lost Ones

The Home for Wayward Parrotsby Darusha Wehm

Accustomed to being an only child, adoptee Brian “Gumbo” Guillemot’s teenage hobby was searching for his birth parents. After years without a lead, when he finally finds his birth mother, Kim, he’s unprepared for the boisterous instant family that comes with her.

No one, besides Kim, knows anything about Gumbo’s birth father. With Kim refusing to answer any questions, Gumbo must choose whether to continue the search, even if it means alienating his few friends and both his families. And the more he learns, the more he wonders whether some things are better left unknown.

Captivating and playful, The Home For Wayward Parrots explores friendship, romance, modern families and geek pop culture with wit, compassion and extremely foul-mouthed birds.

Darusha writes speculative fiction and poetry as M. Darusha Wehm and mainstream work as Darusha Wehm, and is the author of nine published novels, several poems and many short stories. Originally from Canada, Darusha currently lives in Wellington, New Zealand after spending the past several years sailing around the Pacific.

A love song to late bloomers, eclectic fami-lies and all the assorted weirdos, hang-ups and half-understood stories that make up a life. And a poignant reminder that even in all our messy, neurotic, parrot-brained glory, we are also capable of beauty, grace and love.”~ Greg Bechtel, author of Boundary Problems

Mountain Bluesby Sean Arthur Joyce

Welcome to Eldorado, a small mountain town in the Kootenays, chock-a-block with aging hippies, eccentrics, loggers, and protestors. When Roy Breen moves to Eldorado after over a decade of working as a journalist in Vancouver, he is impressed by the soaring glacial vistas and the friendliness of the townsfolk, as well as the quality of the coffee they pour. Unfortunately the threat of cutbacks is looming over the local hospital and Roy must find a way to balance his journalistic integrity with the need to join his new neighbours in fighting to keep the hospital open.

In the vein of Stephen Leacock’s Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town, poet Sean Arthur Joyce’s debut novel Mountain Blues is a tale of warmth and joviality.

Mountain Blues is rich with characters and setting. Joyce’s fresh voice gently reels you in, hooking you with delicious humour, eccentric characters and insights into what it means to live in the Kootenays.”~ Garry Ryan, author of the Detective Lane mysteries

Sean Arthur Joyce captures perfectly the contrast between the stunning landscapes of BC’s West Kootenay region and the struggle to construct and protect a community.”~ Tom Wayman, author of Helpless Angels and The Shadows We Mistake for Love

Sean Arthur Joyce is a well-known writer, journalist and poet in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia. Joyce has been a freelance journalist since 1990, and is the author of two books on local history. He is also the author of three collections of poetry, The Charlatans of Paradise, Star Seeds, and The Price of Transcendence published by New Orphic Publishers of Nelson, BC. Sean Arthur Joyce currently lives in New Denver, British Columbia.
