Following the Fratellini Family of clowns, Jeramy Dodds astonishes readers and non-readers alike. Techniques such as his patented triumph, the Grand Mal Caesura, along with other favourites, are on display inside. Dodds is a warlock of words, only to be outdone by them, enslaved by them, freed by them – maybe even loved by them. A haunting, yet hilarious depiction of a journey to and from the furthest limits of the human experiment.
Animals
Inspired by true events, Crawlspace is a darkly comedic tale that moves past «cautionary» as it snakes through the brutal battleground of real estate, decorative twig orbs, and the state of the human soul.All the Little Animals I Have Eaten explores questions surrounding existence, death and salvation through the perspectives of the ghosts of brilliant authors, vertebrates, and unexpected voices.
Dead White Men
Juxtaposing the seemingly benign names of dead white men that litter our geographies with the details of their so-called discoveries and ‘conquests,’ Dead White Men turns ideas of exploration, finding and keeping back on themselves. Engaging with European exploration and scientific texts from the 15th to the 19th centuries, this book reexamines histories many would like to forget.
Feel Happier in Nine Seconds
Featuring a series of color poems sparked by a job writing nonfiction magazine articles about synaesthesia and Fisher Price refrigerator magnets, the poems in this collection are as alive as the world from which they borrow. Besner plumbs the depths of alternative physics, glamour, economics, and virtual reality with great attention to prosody and a bleak sense of humor.
Any Other Way
• Toronto is one of the most queer-friendly North American cities. Our Pride parade is the largest in North America, and this year even Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took to the streets to celebrate.• This is a book about a community, told by a community. Rather than offering one single authoritative voice, this collection features the perspectives of over 60 writers, artists, academics, and activists.• Being diverse in perspective, the book is also broad in scope: chapter subjects include bars, shared houses, raids, stage performers and pioneering activists. • Lavishly illustrated with archival images and photo essays.
Common Place
Common Place negotiates intimacy while navigating the complexities of memory, addressing shifting, resilient bodies and landscapes challenged by systems of capital and power. From thin threads of text messages across borders to encounters with strangers in the crush of rush hour transit, Sarah Pinder explores seeing and being seen in our most private and public of moments. With considered, quiet urgency, these poems name our ambiguous, aching present and look towards what comes next.
Subdivided
More than any other city-region in the world, including metropolises like New York, Los Angeles and London, Greater Toronto has become a testing ground for urban hyper-diversity. Almost half the region’s 6 million residents were born outside Canada, and many more come from First Nations and racialized communities. Yet recent research has shown that Toronto, like many large cities, is turning into a sprawling collection of homogenous enclaves.Toronto is in many ways ahead of the curve as far as urban diversity goes, By situating Toronto in a broader context and then using it as a kind of case study for the future of urban diversity, we're aiming to make the collection relevant well beyond this city. In a recent article in Toronto Life, 'The Skin I'm In,' writer Desmond Cole described his experiences being carded in Toronto, which prompted discussion of carding practices in the city. It received widespread attention and was picked up by NPR in the US. A book by Cole on race in Canada is forthcoming from Doubleday Canada in 2017; Subdivided will complement this work by presenting other voices on this topic.
Haircuts by Children, and Other Evidence for a New Social Contract
The idea of eliciting full participation of children in all aspects of society may seem far-fetched and will spark debate. O'Donnell puts this idea into practice in his work. He is the artist behind Haircuts by Children, a collaborative piece that is exactly what it sounds like and that has been performed internationally: http://mammalian.ca/projects/#haircuts-by-children (The haircut recipient in the lead photo is Coach House founder Stan Bevington!) He currently has projects implementing the ideas in the book in Germany, UK, and the US. And he is working on a succession plan to pass his theatre company, Mammalian Diving Reflex, on to children he's been working with since they were nine. He's now working to help others adapt their practice in the same direction.He's active in the both the Toronto and international artistic communities and has access to a number of well-known visual and literary contacts and festival organizers.O'Donnell authored a protocol for collaborating with children that won an award in 2012 from the Canadian Coalition on the Rights of the Child.
Closer
We think of the modern woman as sexually liberated – if anything, we’re told we’re oversexed. Yet a striking number of women are dissatisfied with their sex lives. Over half of women report having a sexual complaint, whether that’s lack of desire or difficulty reaching orgasm. But this issue doesn’t get much press; the urge is to ignore or medicalize it (witness the quest for ‘pink Viagra’). If so many ordinary women suffer from sexual frustration, then perhaps the problem isn’t one that can be addressed by a pharmaceutical fix – or isn’t a problem. Maybe we need to get hot and bothered about a broader cultural cure: a reorienting of our current male-focused approach to sex and pleasure, and a rethinking of what’s ‘normal.’ Using a blend of reportage, interview and first-person reflection, journalist Sarah Barmak explores the cutting-edge science and grassroots cultural trends that are getting us closer to truth of women’s sexuality. Closer reveals how women are reshaping their sexuality today in wild, irrepressible ways: nude meetings, how-to apps, trans-friendly porn, therapeutic vulva massage, hour-long orgasms and public clit-rubbing demonstrations – and redefining female sexuality on its own terms.Sarah Barmak is a Toronto-based freelance journalist and author. Her writing has appeared in Maclean's, the Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star, Canadian Business, Marketing, and Reader's Digest.
It Is an Honest Ghost
Teenagers philosophize on the nature of ontology, while fearing there's a ghost in the old mill they're stuck in; anxieties over finitude and terrorism are scrutinized; a man encounters an old friend in the unlikeliest of places; nineteenth-century inventor Sigismund Mohr is vividly brought back from obscurity; and two journalists travel to Kenya for a conference, where one of them has a paranoid breakdown. [i]It Is an Honest Ghost is a funny and often eerie collection that explores what lies beyond mortality—if anything, that is.John Goldbach is the author of [i]The Devil and the Detective (Coach House, 2013) and the collection [i]Selected Blackouts (Insomniac, 2009). He lives in Montreal, Quebec.
