POETRY
Satched
MEGAN GAIL COLES
Named after a local word meaning “soaked through”
or “weighed down,” Scotiabank Giller Prize finalist
Megan Gail Coles’s debut poetry collection, Satched,
is a vivid portrait of intergenerational trauma,
ecological grief, and late-stage capitalism.

If, When
BREN SIMMERS
The poems in If, When link the author’s
contemporary experiences while living in
Squamish, British Columbia, with those of her
great-grandparents, who lived in the nearby mining
town of Britannia a century earlier. Simmers offers
a fresh and empathetic take on the inevitable
tensions between land stewardship and economic
development, finding, ultimately, much potential for
connection and community.

Tangled and Cleft
MATT ROBINSON
Whether he’s writing about the New Year’s Day
hangover, perfectly mown lawns, the ampersand
on a wedding invitation, beer league hockey, or
the shattering of a deceased parent’s casserole
dish, Robinson susses out the seemingly
innocuous web of relationships that give the
domestic its complexity.

KATE BAER
The author of the #1 New York Times bestseller
What Kind of Woman returns with a collection of
erasure poems created from notes she received
from followers, supporters, and detractors—an
artform that reclaims the vitriol from online
trolls and inspires readers to transform what is
ugly or painful in their own lives into something
beautiful.
$15.00 PB Harper Collins
The Nick of Time
ROSMARIE WALDROP
Ten years in the making, Waldrop’s
phenomenally beautiful new collection explores
the felt nature of existence as well as gravity
and velocity, the second hemisphere of time,
mortality and aging, language and immigration,
a Chinese primer, the artist Hannah Höch, and
dwarf stars.

LOUISE GLUCK
The dazzling new collection from the winner of
the 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature. Louise Glück’s
work consistently draws on her own experience,
looking for the common threads in it that render
it universal. Her poems are not confessional,
they are mythic. Her poems are so powerful
because her portrayal of experience reminds us
so trenchantly of what we recognize we too have
seen and felt.
