Poetry collection In a Riptide by Ronna Bloom (Brick Books), nestled amidst dried flowers and stalks in a garden

Poem "Rending the Garments" from the poetry collection In a Riptide by Ronna Bloom, held before dried flowers and stalks in a garden

Handwritten transcription of the poem "Rending the Garments" from the poetry collection In a Riptide by Ronna Bloom

"Has anyone done that for you, lately
or ever? Come over, torn open the sky
and let the snow fall in the wrong month
to show there's a rip in the face of the world?"

We’re excited to share more details about our 25/26 season soon!

She Writes about Tractors and Oil Drilling. She’s Also Changing Canadian Poetry | The Walrus At fifty-eight, Karen Solie is one of our major poets. You might find her on her family farm in Saskatchewan

"What distinguishes her poetry is the skill with which she deploys her technique, the intelligence behind her offhand observations, and her commitment to hesitation, qualification, and doubt. She is incomparably precise, knowing just how long to let a poem go slack before pulling the line taut."

Three books lie fanned out on a wood surface.

Our Fall 2025 POETRY is officially out in the world this week! We're thrilled to offer I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU by Joseph Dandurand, IF: PREY, THEN: HUNTRESS by Christina Shah, and NOVEMBER, NOVEMBER by Isabella Wang. Order now at local bookstores and through online retailers!
