  Clint Smith's debut poetry collection, Counting Descent, is a coming of age story that seeks to complicate our conception of lineage and tradition. Smith explores the cognitive dissonance that results from belonging to a community that unapologetically celebrates black humanity while living in a world that often renders blackness a caricature of fear. His poems move fluidly across personal and political histories, all the while reflecting on the social construction of our lived experiences. Smith brings the reader on a powerful journey forcing us to reflect on all that we learn growing up, and all that we seek to unlearn moving forward.

  Stella Who? - Alone and...

  Stella wandered the streets of Victoria, BC, cold, wet and hungry - living a life of misery. It had been many years since she adapted to street-life. On most days, Stella would rather have been dead, yet she struggled along, hidden in the wide open, taking her place within the nameless, faceless and placeless tribe of the homeless. Faced with constant hunger, Stella begged, knowing that her very existence was based on the generosity of strangers. She hung her head in sorrow and shame, rattling a single coin in a tin can and trying her best to forget the very reason she was there.  Stella never spoke of her past, determined to keep her life-story a secret.  Attempting to remain invisible, she pushed her trolley filled with junk, moving from alcove to park bench then back again, doing what it took in order to survive, always hoping to remain anonymous.  Homeless people were once called hobos, those who hopped the rails, often looking for day-jobs. Homelessness has become a social issue that stems from a multitude of concerns: drug addiction, illness and poverty, plus so much more. It is projected that there are tens of thousands of sick, wet, cold and hungry homeless Canadians, seeking warmth and food on any given day. What readers are saying about Stella Who?: “The author LM Wasylciw, really brought the character of Stella to life, making you think about all the homeless people out there, and wondering what their story's are. Great reading.” “Really enjoyed Stella Who? but with Ashenee Come Home you really hit your stride.  Well done.  Great stories and excellent social commentary.” “Well done. A well written story. I liked the juxtaposition of Good King Wenceslas. It was less direct than the Christmas Carol but it certainly was appreciated. In general, I find the reflective quality of the work very interesting.” “Sella's character is so real and captivates the reader from beginning to end. Such a good book that hit very close to home.”

  The Paradise Tree - Personal...

  The Paradise Tree is a beautiful devotional companion about the experience of God and giving expression to our inner spirituality.
  
   
  A creative mixture of poetry, prose and scripture, this book will challenge preconceptions about the nature of God, heaven, hell, intercessory prayer, and the relevance of human existence within the vastness of an unfathomable universe.
  
   
  This book is about personal discipleship and giving witness to the presence of God to the world around us. It is about finding within our inner being the meaning of life itself and about our future destiny. To do this we need to reflect upon the life and witness of a man who lived two thousand years ago and who, by his life of personal sacrifice to the needs of others in the name of love, gave visible expression to the reality and being of God, in the everyday life of humankind.

  Edgar Allan Poe

  Poe’s stature as a major figure in world literature is based on his ingenious and profound poems, which established a highly influential rationale for the short form in poetry. Poe was also the principal forerunner of the “art for art’s sake” movement in 19th-century literature. He demonstrated a brilliant command of language and technique as well as an inspired and original imagination. Poe’s poetry greatly influenced the French Symbolists of the late 19th century, who in turn altered the direction of modern literature. Here, perhaps, is his most icon lauded work as interpreted by veteran actor Giuliano.
