Autonomous
Media : Activating Resistance and Dissent
Edited by Andrea Langlois and Frédéric Dubois
Communications, Media studies, Non-fiction
"Autonomous media activists deploy their weapons of choice
– video cameras, spray cans, blogs, laptops – to liberate
“meaning-making” from PR specialists and corporate board
rooms. As they engage, connect, and project the voices of people
around the world who are demanding freedom and justice, they crack
open spaces in which social movements can grow and genuine democracy
can flourish."

The
Dead Beat Scrolls: The Incomprehensible Teachings of Harvey Christ
Redeemer
by Reverends Norm, Anna Montana, Joalien & Randy Peters
Humour, Religion, Fiction (200+ illustrations +CD)
"Harvey Christ's paradoxical expression of both reverence
and rebellion, low budget mystique wrapped in the baroque imagery
of Catholicism, and a general bohemian respect for the absurd
mirrored perfectly a time when all [in Montréal] were living
in 4-bedroom apartments with 12-foot ceilings whilst scrounging
for milk money."
-- Rufus Wainwright

For
Everyone At The Back
by Kirk Johnson
Poetry
In this bold collection, Kirk Johnson is part archivist, biographer
and archaeologist. Extracted from speeches, conversations, letters,
manifestos and memoirs that chronicle the Bolshevik Revolution and
the violent overthrow of the Russian Monarchy, the metrics of his
historical method defy tradition. Though grounded in documentation,
Johnson is more modern troubadour: his poems are part songs, part
folk tales.
*Available with Author's autograph!

chic Shakespeare, shakes / CanLit with reggae riff, steelpan quakes."

TO A TENSION
New short fiction by Thirteen writers under 25
Edited by Tom Abray & Neale McDevitt
Featuring Pain Was My Portion, A Trestle Chapbook short story of
by Elisabeth Harvor
A murderous plot is hatched in a family home built of recycled outhouse
wood. A soldier serving in Vietnam dives into a childhood tragedy
after recognizing Gordie Howe during a prisoner exchange. A teenager
is trapped in his dysfunctional home with his mother and her girlfriend,
his homophobic father and a brother who thinks he's a tree. A young
rebellious Tamil woman carries a secret that would scandalize her
family and undo her pre-arranged marriage. An Edwardian mother is
horrified to learn that her daughter visits the local cemetery with
a dying house guest. Often poignant, with occasional gusts of the
absurd, this collection showcases a baker's dozen of the next great
wave of young literary talent. |
