The itinerary of Faithfully Seeking Franz comprises an irregular quest for dead mentor, modernist author Franz Kafka--in places he lived, worked, vacationed and convalesced, and in the body of work he left: fiction, diaries, notebooks, and correspondence. The search for the man inside the writer is both a personal journey and a joint venture of two in the field: E. and M. in pursuit of K. The story might even be said to unfold as a love note t...

The poems in Swoon speak to the steady wending of a life's thematic drama: the falling / rising permutations across biographical phases. Indications are filtered through relationship, encounter, art, the natural world, and dream. Associations coalesce in a rhythmic clocking of feeling / thought. Randomness and accident may have a part to play, destiny and mystery, too, suggestion of a plot. There's storyline unfolding that resists a denouement.

Berlin-born artist Charlotte Salomon died young. The year before her murder she completed a unique fictionalised autobiography-in-paint that she described as her means of conquering death.

The decisive moment is perpetual, which is why the story cannot be finite

Walking the line to make art the sanest rage. Thin is the line between dreaming and wakefulness, wellness and disorder, here and there, this and that. Elana Wolffs poems illuminate the porousness of states and relations, the connective compulsion of poetic perception, in language that blends the oracular and the everyday, the elliptical and the lucent, the playful and the heart-raking. The de- and re-constructive workings of the poems in this ...

Tracing a summer's trip across Canada from Toronto to the West Coast and back, this collection of poems can be read like a subtly unfolding narrative. Examined individually, the poems illuminate doubt, loss and beauty. Though the pieces are short, they assemble a melody of shared summer memories.

In these poems, told from the writer's home on the outskirts of the city, dreams recur, lore emerges, memory merges with imagination, artifice with nature, and the physical with other possibilities.
