<i><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial wgl" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">During the fall of 2015, I
acquired a macro lens for my Olympus EM10 camera, and became enamoured with the
vividness and detail of the minutia I could capture. An obvious subject was the
autumn leaves, and soon a project evolved: to photograph changing and fallen
leaves on my front lawn, and only on my front lawn, that season. Although mine
is a typical front yard in Montreal's Mile End </span></i><i><span style="font-family: "arial wgl" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">neighbourhood<span style="color: black;"> — a patch of grass, hedge and flowerbed of about sixty
square feet — it proved a surprisingly rich subject. Certain twigs, leaves, and grape bunches caught my eye. I began to
relate to them as to human characters, documenting their changes through
hundreds of photos. Other leaves — maple, aspen, </span>and who knows what<span style="color: black;"> — blew in from outside, and although I couldn't resist the
temptation to position a few, for the most part they were photographed as they
had fallen. The whole exercise became a meditation on mortality, randomness and
seasonal renewal.</span></span></i><o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
A series of ekphrastic poems inspired by
works of art in Brian Campbell’s home, this collection celebrates not only of the art works but their creators, all of whom are or were
Brian’s acquaintances or friends. By turns quirky, warm, poignant and elegiac, the poems
are presented with colour plates of the art that inspired them
on facing pages. Featured artists: Nathalie Trépanier, Barbara Sala,
Mary Hayes, Sekai, Jocelyne Dubois, Allen Sutterfield, Jennifer
Blachford, Olga Maksimova, Kerin Nointel, Michel Rioux, Vasilije Bukcev.
A magazine-sized "mini-coffee table book", this is visually perhaps the most striking Sky of Ink production to date.<br />

<strong>PETITE CHOUETTE<br />
(after the sculpture by Nathalie Trépanier)</strong><br />
<strong><br /></strong></div>
Me an owl<br />
a tired owl<br />
dazed owl<br />
gazing out<br />
through zany pie eyes—<br />
cherry pie, apple pie<br />
of swirling gears and metal plates<br />
I’m a deft contraption, whimsical construction<br />
that a sculptress wrenched, glued, bent<br />
feathers of spoons and spaghetti tongs<br />
fork feet twisted round a branch<br />
supported by a lamp stand<br />
but yes I’m tired, tired<br />
still standing, barely<br />
my heart a rusty clock<br />
crooked, crocked<br />
ticker stuck<br />
at twenty to nine<br />
after a whole night flying<br />
whole night crying<br />
whoo am I<br />
whoo am I<br />
whoo am I</div>

By turns sensual, witty, mournful, acerbic, and cutting, these poems by Raphael Bendahan will make you sit up and listen.</div>

CUTLERY</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
There is a gold set<br />
That will serve eight.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
A plated silver set<br />
for formal dining.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
A heavily used Moroccan set,<br />
from my mother’s family.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
And a dessert set with shiny spoons<br />
A silver spatula and tiny forks.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
Four sets in all I’ll never use<br />
gifts for an imagined groom, a wedding<br />
that won’t happen; knives, forks and spoons</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
and all that’s presupposed by those<br />
more fortunate in love than cutlery.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">

Jocelyne Dubois’ poetry is characterized
by limpid and at times searing clarity. This collection comprises a
particularly courageous narration: Jocelyne suffers from bipolar
disorder, and in these poems she takes us on a harrowing journey through
breakdown, hospitalization and recovery.<span style="color: white;">.</span><span style="color: white;">.</span><br />

ALLAN MEMORIAL</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
A stone mansion sits on top<br />
of a hill.<br />
Troubled minds visit each day.<br />
Some stay a long while.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
I think about the man<br />
who lived here, years ago.<br />
Horses & carriages<br />
wine & duck<br />
served on white linen.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
When he died, he gave it all away.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
Today, people drop in<br />
for toast & coffee in Styrofoam.<br />
They sit on plastic chairs,<br />
swallow pills<br />
& wait<br />
to talk<br />
to doctors.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jocelyne Dubois’ novella, <em>World of Glass</em>
(Quattro Books, 2013) was shortlisted for the 2013 QWF Paragraphe Hugh
MacLennan Prize for Fiction. Her short stories have appeared in The

Judges’ comments:</h5>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>The poetry:</strong> This
collection is a mature, wry, and accessible series of delightful, sure
and confident poems. It is peopled with clearly evoked characters,
places, and times – spanning the period from the ‘30s to the present –
and captures exactly the different ages the poet lives through. There is
no self-pity here, despite some rough times: radiation treatments faced
with the hilarity of accurate observation (“Three young technicians aim
my breast / at The Machine, / flee to another room”); the memory of a
dead father beginning to fade, his cane in the basement “casting no
shadows”; and the elegant sense that even after a lengthy failed
marriage, the better memories will keep returning (“I made myself a dry
martini, / missing the cool precision of his lemon peeler – / its
perfect spiral”). And then there’s a playful but expert wordplay, the
kind of thing that continues to make poetry, despite the seriousness of
the theme, fun (“to the cold heat / in the sweat’s pit / where the
orange rots / then the hot’s not / to the deaf eyes / and the tom thumb /
and the legs bite / where the clocks run / and the song stops / on the
second hand / and there’s no land / to land on”).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>The chapbook:</strong> The book
displays perfect, simple production values, the cover unadorned and of
the same colour as the pages. Its outsized format and generous typeface
contribute to the delight and seriousness of the collection. We have
nothing but praise for the publisher’s production of this book.</div>

The day my husband left<br />
our G.P. choked on oaths un-Hippocratic.<br />
“If pain persists,” he cried,<br />
“throw his clothes out the window.”<br />
I watched them fly: socks, shorts, shirts –<br />
every single tie.</div>

Nina Bruck, 1923-2015, was a poet
possessed of the quickest intelligence and surest eye. Her lyrics, even
at their most profound, are leavened by playful wit and a warm,
easygoing sensuality. Ms Bruck’s poetry appeared in the Canadian
Forum, in the Canadian League of Poets Vintage 96 and 97 anthologies,
and was read on CBC radio (Morningside Papers and The Sunday
Edition). In 1992, she won First Prize in Matrix Magazine’s “New Voices
from Quebec” Competition. She also brought her talent as a keen observer
to photography. Her colour photographic series “Signs of Life” was
featured in a solo exhibition at the McCord Museum in Montreal.<br />

More kudos for Nina Bruck! (originally posted at Out of the Woodwork, June, 2008) <br />
<br />
It's official: Nina Bruck is one of the three winners of the WCDR 2008 Poetry Chapbook Challenge, for Still Light at Five O'Clock (Sky of Ink Press). The other two winners are Teresa Donat Banks for Resident Alien (Believe your own press, Toronto) and Bill Howell, Ghost Test Flights (Rubicon Press, Toronto). (There is no first/second/third prize for this award: according to the contest organizer, narrowing it down to three is hard enough.)<br />
<br />
Here are the judge's comments on Nina's book:<br />
