(Tim) Struthers has edited some thirty volumes of theory, criticism, autobiography, short stories, and poetry, including collections on Clark Blaise and Alice Munro for Guernica Editions. He has been publishing on Canadian literature for some fifty years and now writes and edits full-time following a fifty-year career of university teaching.

About the Book: Con Brio: The Life and Works of Len Gasparini is designed to be as lively, as creative, as forceful yet as subtle as the writer whose poems, stories, and essays it celebrates. Framing this volume are 25 enjoyable remembrances of Len Gasparini, then 25 insightful commentaries on his poems. Featured too are new poems by George Elliott Clarke, Carlinda D'Alimonte, and Marianne Micros paired with the counterparts by Gasparini that inspired them. Major essays by George Elliott Clarke, Joseph Pivato, J.R. (Tim) Struthers, and others explore the enduring artistry of Gasparini's works.

Excited to see NO BIG DEAL by Dean Brownrout land on the Amazon Kindle Music Business Best Sellers chart nearly two years after its initial release.

In 2024, “No Big Deal: Chasing the indie music dream in the last days of the record business” (Guernica Editions) debuted on the U.S. Amazon bestseller charts—months ahead of its official October 1, 2024 publication. Since then, it has appeared across multiple categories and continues to reach new readers.

Thanks for your support!

About the Author: Faculty Emeritus and recovering poet, Crystal Hurdle is reinventing herself in retirement by mentoring writers through the League of Canadian Poets, the Writers Union of Canada, the Canadian Artists Network, as well as teaching Creative Writing to seniors. She also crafts junk journals, paints, weaves tapestry, and writes fiction. She is author of After Ted & Sylvia, Teacher's Pets, Sick Witch, and Syl-Lo-Therapy.

About the Book: Ripped from the confines of their books and storied mythologies, Sylvia Plath and Nabokov's Lo**ta Haze react, redact, reclaim—using food, math, bees, fashion, film, literary criticism, art, sexual identity, bibliotherapy, blood jets of poetry (and more)—on their parallel anachronistic rides. Syl-Lo-Therapy combines the best of creative vision with meticulous research. A deep dive into both Sylvia Plath and Nabokov's Lo**ta. Two books in one. "[A] hilarious, inventive, shapeshifting, boundary-crossing romp through feminist poetic territory." —Cathy Stonehouse
