BOOKS

 

Red Bird and People Leaving can both be purchased online through BuschekBooks, or the usual online booksellers. For example, this one. And for those of you so inclined, I encourage you to visit your local independent bookseller.

Red Bird (BuschekBooks, 2007): Birds, photography and road trips. Bug eaten rats, the falling leaves of a gingko tree, and a blue heron in flight. Red Bird takes on the everyday with a keen eye, breathtaking imagery and a sense of the beauty in the superficially ugly debris of our lives. Red Bird is filled with crushing poems about love and death, birds and cars. You will find in these poems those moments of complex and simple beauty found in the everyday devastation of the natural world.

 

 

Also:

People Leaving (BuschekBooks, 2001) is a collection of short stories suffused with loss and regret, longing and despair: but happily so. People Leaving was nominated for the Upper Canada Writers' Craft Award, the City of Ottawa Book Award and the Re-Lit Award.

The Longest Winter (Broken Jaw Press, 1999) is a collaborative work featuring the photographic work of Julie Doiron and the fictional work of Ian Roy. What can be said about such a book? Photographs! Prose-y poems! Fun!
