Toronto: Guernica Editions, 2003 Book. New. Soft cover. 1st Canadian Edition. Malca Litovitz ....writes in a singular poetic voice of the groundlessness, the transitory nature of any relationship, and her wonder at the timeless quality of the traces love leaves in the mind and heart. 'At the Moonbeam Café' often deals with loss, ever present even in the happiest and most fulfilled instances the poems enact, but her joyousness, gentleness and wisdom, her caressing poetic voice and intimate address to the reader are authentic feelings beautifully and naturally projected. 62p.

Toronto: ECW Press, 2017 Book. Fine. Soft cover. 1st Canadian Edition.. Referencing the post-war neorealist film by Vittorio De Sica, Mary di Michele's Bicycle Thieves commemorates her Italian past and her life in Canada through elegy and acts of translation of text and of self.The collection opens with a kind of hymn to life on the planet, sung from the peak of that urban island, Montreal ....and moves into the poet's autobiography - in search of catharsis through literature - and pays tributes to poets who have been part of the literary landscape di Michele now inhabits. Bicycle Thieves is poetry as time machine, transcending the borders between life and death, language and culture..

Toronto: Macmillan of Canada, 1967 Book. Very Good. Soft cover. Revised Edition. Selected and arranged an with an introduction by F.R.Scott & A.J.M.Smith. Here's a bomb to blast complacency, a wind to scatter the cobwebs of old conformities; a whip for knaves-in-office and a purge for hypocrites.Here's medicine for the strong and poison for the dull. Here's a rope to hang the canting chauvinist and a sword to arm the man who loves his country. The Blasted Pine shows Canada in an unfamiliar light - the light of an energetic and sometimes savage self-criticism. The stately pine ...is here blasted and eaten away by the native fires of satire and invective. But though the light is unfamiliar it has burnt steadily since the mid-nineteenth century century. Almost as soon as Canadian poets appeared they were sounding a disrespectful note - a loud raspberry which echoes rudely down the corridors of history to our own day. This anthology reveals, as no other has done, how consistently and with… Read More
