A Road Map for Finding Wild Horses

Bestiary

Bursting with a remarkable cast of spiders and fish, crows and bears, rats, chickens and cows, this collection of poetry gives free rein to very human feelings and the way they grow and stampede out on the Prairie landscape.

Black Umbrella
Katherine Lawrence

Bounty
Jason Pchajek

Cattail Skylines
Joanne Epp
In these mindful poems, quiet in their precision, the speaker revisits childhood haunts, makes monthly observations of the urban Omand’s Creek, absorbs cultural moments in Cambodia, watches the landscape roll by from train windows, and summers on a lake, finding the light and enlightenment in nature.

Cold Metal Stairs
Su Croll

cold press moon
Dennis Cooley
Like the best and most magical of fairy tales, this collection of poems catches our anxieties and hopes, glimmers with mischief and mystery, and somehow discovers the truth in ways both playful and profound.

Death Becomes Us
Kristen Wittman
These poems chronicle the love, illness, and death of a husband, following the seasons of nature and life, in images that move from birdsong and leafy trees to ice and tornadoes and back again, in forms ranging from the sonnet to the villanelle to the found poem. Personal challenges are juxtaposed with global events, but the joys of travel, physical activity, and quiet meditation are never overlooked.

Dishonour in Camp 133
Wayne Arthurson

Endlings
Joanna Lilley
These lyrical and melancholic poems tell the stories of “endlings,” the last individuals of a species, sometimes in their voices, sometimes in the words of official reports, and sometimes from the perspective of those who loved them and those who killed them, exposing the brutality of Nature and the devastation of human ignorance, carelessness, and intent.
