New Titles:

Coming this Spring!
The Devil You Know by Jenn Farrell is an arresting volume of short fiction dealing with the familiar, yet ever-engrossing, territories of sex, love, work, birth, and death; A Room in the City: the photographs of Gabor Gasztonyi presents Gasztonyi’s five-year project of photographing the residents of the Cobalt, Balmoral, Sunrise, and Regent Hotels in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Introduction by Harold Rhenisch and a Preface by Gabor Mate; The Waterbird, a new novel from Vancouver author Robert Strandquist. Humans too often live lives based on the surface—on appearances alone, seldom breaking beyond the outer shell of the world that sustains us. The Waterbird contemplates a look inward instead.; A Pattern of Interpretation: Making B.C. and Pacific Northwest Literature, edited by Trevor Carolan is an anthology of fifteen essays focusing on a broad spectrum of topics, including nationalist and post-nationalist traditions, regional perspectives, First Nations groundings, Beat/Black Mountain and cross-cultural linkages, and the shifting grounds in the defining of community identity.
