  Unnaturally Blue

  Dorson Plourde, Byron Eggenschwiler (Illustrator)

  A girl who used to swim in pattern formations feels like there’s no room in the pool for her kind of blue – there isn’t any room for tears. She swims down to the bottom and uncorks the plug, and plunges into the deep, where there is room for blue, and for much more.

  Walking Upstream

  Lloyd Ratzlaff

  This debut poetry collection by the author of three books of non-fiction portrays the beauty of Saskatoon’s riverbanks and magpies, following the speaker as he overcomes a harsh evangelical upbringing by finding solace in nature. Brief moments and precise images combine with playful observations and commentary to show the full effect of both urban and wild life.
