Poetry Comics

Combining poetry and comics in a whole new way, this fun and imaginative book is perfect for poetry lovers and reluctant readers alike. "Poetry Comics is a sprint through a sprinkler, a cool evening breeze, and the discovery of static electricity all at once. It's a sensorial experience that taps into what it means to be human and leaves you inspired to explore, discover, create, and connect."--Aron Nels Steinke, Eisner Award-winning cartoonist From the cloud-gazing hours of early spring to the lost bicycles of late autumn, Grant Snider's brilliantly illustrated Poetry Comics will take you climbing, floating, swimming, and tumbling through all the year's ups, downs, and in-betweens. He proves that absolutely everything, momentous or minuscule, is worthy of attention, whether snail shells, building blocks, the lamented late bus, or the rare joy of unscuffed shoes. These poems explore everything you never thought to write a poem about, and they're so fun to read you'll want to write one

From Aboriginal writing to Margaret Atwood, this is a complete English-language history of Canadian writing in English and French from its beginnings. The multi-authored volume pays special attention to works from the 1960s and after, to multicultural and indigenous writing, popular literature, and the interaction of anglophone and francophone cultures throughout Canadian history. Established genres such as fiction, drama and poetry are discussed alongside forms of writing which have traditionally received less attention, such as the essay, nature-writing, life-writing, journalism, and comics, and also writing in which the conventional separation between genres has broken down, such as the poetic novel. Written by an international team of distinguished scholars, the volume includes a separate, substantial section discussing major genres in French, as well as a detailed chronology of historical and literary/cultural events, and an extensive bibliography covering criticism in English and
