Stasio
$22.00This detective novel – presented in three distinct novellas – traces the ever deepening involvement of the protagonist Anthony de Stasio in a series of political nightmares, from a cursed firearm in “Steyr Mannlicher” that leads him through the world of a single mother’s hardscrabble poverty; to the tormented life of a daughter imprisoned in a world her father built for her in “Photo Array”; to the workings of a mysterious postwar utopian cult that traffics street kids in an attempt to engineer a universal refusal of the vote in “The Unaffiliated.” Each novella deepens Stasio’s immersion in the charnel house of contemporary politics, and features a supporting cast of characters whose personal involvement attempts to rescue him from it.

Stations of the Lost, The
$16.95Stations of the Lost is about how we seek to find places for ourselves in landscapes and situations that seem to belong to others. In language playful, extravagant, somber and meditative, yet always plainspoken and heartfelt, the quandaries of our double selves are exploredÑboth ‘longing/and belonging.’ The geographic range takes us from urban landscapes, across borders of one kind or another, to the remote regions which bring us closer to our homes. At times irreverent and light-hearted, the collection is also a meditation on loss’s singular presence in our lives.

Stay
$12.95Millie is eleven going on twelve when her life is upended by her parents’ decision to separate. Her mother gets a new boyfriend, and her father moves into a new place: an apartment with a big sign on the door that says NO DOGS ALLOWED. Since there’s nothing Millie wants more than a dog of her own, that seems like the biggest blow of all.
Hoping to get her parents back together–not just for her sake but for the sake of her future dog–Millie is elated when her father moves back in after a short while. She can’t understand why her parents aren’t happy at the reconciliation until she learns the truth: her father is back because he has been diagnosed with cancer.
Told in verse by acclaimed Canadian poet Katherine Lawrence,;Stay is a moving, touching, and yet often humorous portrait of a family in a time of crisis, whose pain is filtered through the thoughts and actions of an eleven-year-old girl. Stay captures the essence of what it means to grow up, confront your fears, support your family, and share in the wild optimism that only youth can harbour.

Staying Canadian
$19.95In October ’95, under the control of the Quebec Liberal Party, the NO campaign avoided all mention of the key arguments against secession. Liberals never talked about the unconstitutional nature of the PQ’s proposals, avoided all mention of why 50% + 1 in a Quebec-only referendum is no basis on which to break up the country, and never once said that if Canada is divisible, so is Quebec. Staying Canadian documents the long journey provincial Equality Party leader Keith Henderson undertook in 1993 to help get the Quebec nationalist threat to Canada’s territorial integrity before the Supreme Court and onto the national agenda.

So even when Stazy stumbles across their secret and they find out about hers, it takes more than a little magic to turn a trio into a foursome. It involves losing ghosts and finding wings. It requires listening to your intuition and to invisible friends.
And it’s all about accepting your friends and yourself, just as you are.

Steam-Cleaning Love
$11.95J.A. Hamilton distinguished herself with Body Rain (1991) a tough, passionate lyrical book written out of a woman’s anger and a woman’s love. Steam-Cleaning Love, Hamilton’s second book of poetry, is “ginger root tough and jelly edgy”-spicy, sweet, biting; it overwhelms, inundates, the palate. This new book revives the angry, biting, funny, loving, randy voice that won readers to her first volume, but sets that voice in a gentler space. These are passionate poems that celebrate women as friends and lovers, and the beauty, the delight, the desire of women’s bodies.

Steamy
$23.95Hot (flash) takes, symptom by symptom, of The Change: Steamy is a raucous menopause memoir.
Half the population will face the horrors of menopause at some point, but even the medical profession can’t figure out what to do about it. Insomnia (#9), irritability (#24), increases in weight (#34): facing all that, we may have to conclude that laughter might be the best medicine for menopause.
Steamy explores the cascading list of symptoms people can face when going through The Change (including 2. Hot Flashes, 21. Anxiety, and 45. Fewer Shits). In this comic memoir, Holbrook opens up an experience still constrained by cultural silences and myths. Steamy is honest, vulnerable, gross, and might just be the funniest book you’ve ever read about menopause, or anything else (see 37. Bloating).
With bonus tear-out fan!
