Book Description
The twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes is a major figure in European literature. His courtly romances fathered the Arthurian tradition and influenced countless other poets in England as well as on the continent. Yet because of the difficulty of capturing his swift-moving style in translation, English-speaking audiences are largely unfamiliar with the pleasures of reading his poems. Now, for the first time, an experienced translator of medieval verse who is himself a poet provides a translation of Chrétien’s major poem, Yvain, in verse that fully and satisfyingly captures the movement, the sense, and the spirit of the Old French original. Yvain is a courtly romance with a moral tenor; it is ironic and sometimes bawdy; the poetry is crisp and vivid. In addition, the psychological and the socio-historical perceptions of the poem are of profound literary and historical importance, for it evokes the emotions and the values of a flourishing, vibrant medieval past.

Book Description
In the North Arm of British Columbia's Fraser River lies an uninhabited island. In the midst of major industry and shipping, it is central to the waterfront of British Columbia's original capital of New Westminster passed by daily by thousands of SkyTrain commuters. Poplar Island is lush and unspoken, but storied. It is the traditional territory of the Qayqayt First Nation. Made into property, a parcel of land belonging to the "New Westminster and Brownsville Indians," this is the location of one of British Columbia's first "Indian Reserves." This is also a place where Indigenous smallpox victims from the south coast were forced into quarantine, substandard care and buried. As people were decimated the land was taken and exchanged between levels of government. The trees were clear-cut for industry, beginning with shipbuilding during the First World War. The island still serves as booming anchorage for local sawmills. From the Poplars is the poetic outcome of archival research, and of listening to the land and the stories of a place. It is a meditation on an unmarked, twenty-seven and a half acres of land held as government property: a monument to colonial plunder on the waterfront of a city, like many cities, built upon erasures. From an emplaced poet and resident of New Westminster, this text contributes to present narratives on decolonization. It is an honouring of river and riparian density, and a witness to resilience, tempering a silence that inevitably will be heard. demonstration parcels bought and sold repeatedly as the record shows, stolen quarantine and bury there the government not taking graves into account warships were built view down a launch ramp Cecily Nicholson is a writer, curator, and community worker in the impoverished and inspiring Downtown Eastside of Vancouver.

Book Description
Poetry. Caribbean Studies. Latinx Studies. African & African American Studies. "There is a raw urgency to these poems within the 'protocol' set, the 'name' of each echoes marine distress-calling, a plea to humanity; recounting the travails during the super-storms Irma and Maria...the unprecedented level of destruction that the storms wrought on the poet's home island of St. Martin, and on neighboring Caribbean countries and territories. This poetry is about prevailing over adversity and about resiliency to disaster."--Margaret Matz, Il Tolomeo (Vol. 20), Italy
