ARRIVAL
Arrival is the story, history, and biography of Canada’s “literary boom” from the late 1950s to the mid 1970s, as told by Nick Mount, a professor of English literature at the University of Toronto. Mount aims to tackle all aspects of this explosion of works, from the authors and their new successes, to the publishers, to an emerging national storytelling scene.

ALL OUR WRONG TODAYS
Tom Barren lives in the futuristic world of 2016, not the 2016 that you and I have lived through, no. Tom lives in an alternate timeline, a technological utopia where cars fly, meals are synthesized, and time travel is the next big scientific breakthrough. In All Our Wrong Todays, Elan Mastai guides us on a journey through Tom’s experiences with love, loss, self-discovery, and of course, time travel.

AFLOAT
Almost daily, we experience strange juxtapositions of the traditional and the modern, the old and the new. After a yoga class, students flock to their cellphones in order to catch up to the rest of us. Ceremonial tea and aspartame-filled energy potions are served side-by-side in bustling franchised coffeehouses. And yet we usually tread these strange pairings absent-mindedly. In John Reibetanz’s eighth book of poetry, Afloat, one witnesses these types of unexpected collisions manifold, and comes away with a multi-faceted understanding of the book’s main muse: water.
