Global Governance in Question
$24.95Like many buzzwords, “global governance” is poorly understood. In contrast to most mainstream accounts, this book examines global economic governance as an integral moment of contemporary capitalism. Susanne Soederberg presents a critical insight into its real nature and the interests that it serves. This book begins by asking what has not been discussed in the mainstream debates–and why. Soederberg explores neglected issues including transnational debt and the coercive nature of US aid to “failed states.” Soederberg argues that mainstream understandings fail to engage with the wider contradictions that characterize global capitalism. In consequence, there is no explanation of the changing nature of American empire and capitalist power. Furthermore, Soederberg maintains that global governance acts to normalize increasingly austere forms of capitalist expansion.

Gloria’s Guy

Now he’s a failed LA lawyer, divorced, and working at his brother’s resort in the Muskokas.

But their high-school friends Eva, Leslie, and Peggy, and Peggy’s mom Jessie—the crew’s former teacher—decide to play matchmakers and reconnect the long-split pair.
Between the reunion of old friends, each with their own surprises, Gloria and Guy are pushed together, learning the power of forgiveness, the warmth of opening up to someone, and the possibilities of a rewritten future.

Glorious Birds
$18.00Cinematic film, the art form that came into its own in the 20th Century, is not only familiar to all of us, but is likely the form that lodges most clearly in memory. Like music – and the music employed in a film – scenes come back, often carrying emotion as well as remembrance.
One such film is Harold and Maude, the 1971 production that brought Bud Cort and Ruth Gordon to what are possibly their most memorable roles, and the film that locked so many Cat Stevens songs in mind. A cockeyed love story that stretches the definition of a May/December romance, it reveals the fact that love can indeed be blind to matters of age or appearance.
This book takes us back half a century to when this one-of-a-kind film was released – a time with its own kind of turmoil, but a time as well of a different kind of innocence – one worth exploring again. Fifty years, traditionally a golden anniversary, is surely an appropriate time to celebrate.

Glory
$19.95A northern gothic tale about resilience and belonging.
In a boom town dominated by a man-eating lake, Renee and Danny Chance start a new life in his grandfather’s cabin. Renee struggles to keep her head above water until she is drawn into the orbit of two beautifully notorious bar-singer cousins, and all three women are called to test the bonds of blood and loyalty. A polyphonic fable riddled with tall tales, Glory explores what it means to be a woman in north-central BC by flooding the shores of the human heart.
“Stunning, raw prose and a fierce narrative that is irresistibly readable.”—The Malahat Review
“Sensitive, taut, and observant, each voice in Wigmore’s complex tapestry brings this small town brilliantly to life.”—Eden Robinson
“A great novella is a work of alchemy, and that’s what we’re treated to in Glory… The women in your life need this book, maybe almost as much as the men do. Buy it for them.”—Book Addiction

Gloryland
$17.00Carla Funk, in her fifth book of poetry, illuminates the small and marvelous marginalia of earth, like the glistening trail of a snail en route, and looks prophetically to the not-so-distant future where cities burn and the body falls to ruin. A meditation on endings, intermingling wonder and praise with question and elegy, Gloryland offers poems for an apocalyptic age.
Better than anyone, Carla Funk finds words for the rural, the north, the troubled family, and for “that feeling when the world goes wrong and true.” Reading this book makes me shiver with delight. This is a writer who’s been baptized with the dark waters of poetry. I do not doubt her when she writes, “The name of God was always in my head.” Her words will forever be in mine.
Lorna Crozier, author of The Wrong Cat and The Wild in You
Wisdom is here, and lament, and wit, in pentameter lines hewn of this earth–the bones, the butcher block–but also of “the pulsing star” and through “the needle’s eye” to mystery. How does Carla Funk balance such tight and seamless clarity? It seems Gloryland is only as far as the sonnet that sings its name.

Glossolalia
$18.00Glossolalia is an unflinching exploration of sisterhood, motherhood, and sexuality as told in a series of poetic monologues spoken by the thirty-four polygamous wives of Joseph Smith, founder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In Marita Dachsels second full-length collection, the self-avowed agnostic feminist uses mid-nineteenth century Mormon America as a microcosm for the universal emotions of love, jealousy, loneliness, pride, despair, and passion. Glossolalia is anextraordinary, often funny, and deeply human examination of what it means to be a wife and a woman through the lens of religion and history.

Glutton for Punishment: Hard Core Glosa
$17.00In Glutton for Punishment, Christopher Doda updates an ancient poetic form for the 21st century. The glosa is an old metrical form from the royal Spanish court system where a poet takes four lines from another poet and uses them to create a forty-line poem of his own (four ten-line stanzas where each of the four adopted lines are the last line of each stanza) allowing the poet to pay tribute to, converse or argue with the other poet. Doda’s variation on this classic form is to take all the source lines from hard rock and heavy metal lyrics, pushing the musicality of poems and the poetry of rock to its limits, while always forced to keep the beat. As rock stars are the poets of the new century, this book is timely and international in scope, as Doda has used lyrics from bands in Canada and the United States to Iraq to most of Europe and the United Kingdom. This is a book with a playlist: hard core glosa for the new age.

Go Down Odawa Way
$17.95Go Down Odawa Way is a poetry collection that explores the physical, historical, and cultural spaces that make up the southwestern traditional territory of the Three Fires Confederacy. This is the region currently inhabited by southwestern Ontario and southeastern Michigan. Individual poems and sections of this collection explore the documented villages, history, and mythologies of the Odawa, Ojibway, Huron/Wendat, and Pottawatomi nations that were lost to the process of colonization and relocation. The project speaks to the history of the region that predates contemporary Canadian and American borders and namings as well as carves out a history that extends back past the mere couple of centuries of European colonization. The narrative focal point of the pieces find their roots in the traditional Lenape vantage point of the author and seeks to draw on the experiences of a modern day urban Indian in connection with the manner that land has changed with non-Indigenous settlement and those that inhabit it.
