SUDDENLY, SO MUCH - Sandy Shreve

"The poems in Suddenly, So Much yield more on each re-reading. From the playful to the heartbreakingly beautiful, the essence of this book is transformation and grace in the midst of ruin. These are poems with the depth we hope for in poetry ­ a rich and deeply moving book." ­Kate Braid Sandy Shreve has published three previous poetry collections, and she has a special interest in "form" as a barrier to be broken through, form as the containment that allows for transcendence. Her work has won the Earle Birney Prize for Poetry and been short listed for the Milton Acorn People’s Poetry Award and the National Magazine Awards (for poetry). She was raised in Sackville, New Brunswick, and now lives in Vancouver, BC.

THE BEN CALDER STORY A Novel - Stephen Zeifman

The Ben Calder Story probes the heart of the contemporary malaise: how a man without faith navigates through the moral and ethical dilemmas of modern life. Ben Calder, an artist teaching at one of Canada’s oldest independent girl’s schools, is beginning to unravel. In October a girl arrives at the school from Italy. Her mother and Ben were in love in high school and when the mother arrives in Toronto for her daughter’s eighteenth birthday, the daughter’s jealousy precipitates Ben’s fall. Zeifman’s writing is crisp, minimal and informed by fine a sense of craft.

The Ben Calder Story completes the Toronto Trilogy, which includes The Family Man and The Good Friend, Zeifman’s two previously published novels. A novella, Peripheral Vision, is also in print (see The Darkhorse Series - available in January). All books were published by Exile Editions and there are plans to issue the trilogy as a boxed set in the spring of 2007.

GAMBLING WITH FAILURE Essays - Antonio D’Alfonso

We have grown accustomed to false bread, robots, androids. Box-office success creates dead cultures, it fossilizes what should palpitate with passion. Success excludes. If the spotlight falls on false bread, and if that false bread is not strong enough to carry the expectations of buyers, people turn away, dissatisfied. Culture is what is left over when there is no more money, after the robots and androids have disappeared. Gambling with Failure is a personal journey into an understanding of how a "weak culture" can become what really counts in the end, how a failure today may be the great work of tomorrow.
