On The Hardness of Matter and Water:
"Donald Winkler’s elegant translation captures Nepveu’s skilful use of language, alluring tempo, and introspective imagery..." Kenneth W. Meadwell, Canadian Literature
On What We Carry:
A keen awareness of mortality underlies the poems in Susan Glickman’s vibrant seventh collection...These lyric poems have an unassuming grace and clarity. – Barbara Carey, Toronto Star
On Aphelia:
This book was a pleasure to read, at times stark and haunting and at others wonderfully descriptive as to almost feel the sweat trickling down your back. The translation by Lesley Trites is on point and flows easily and naturally. - Ann Marie Boulanger, Quebec Reads
On The Suicide's Son:
"Still, there is something in the opening gesture of an Arthur poem that has a sobering effect on our sensibility. ... Particular ideas or claims, like the statement of the belief in original sin, operate as centrifugal forces around which the narrative and imagistic pieces of an Arthur poem find their orientation." - Darren Bifford, HANGWIRE

2018 was our 45th anniversary. The publishing landscape has changed substantially since we began printing in the back of an artist-run gallery in downtown Montreal in 1973.
