"Canon" by Susan Holbrook

Throughout this h0LEE collection, Susan Holbrook reinterprets classic poems, from Sappho to Stein, through the constraint of a calculator. Each poem pops with humour and cuts towards the centre of the pieces, reminding how poetry can not only be funny, but also why it needs to be funny.

Susan Holbrook’s poetry books are "Ink Earl" (Coach House, 2021), the Governor General’s Award-nominated "Throaty Wipes" (Coach House 2016), Trillium-nominated "Joy Is So Exhausting" (Coach House 2009), and "misled" (Red Deer 1999), which was shortlisted for the Pat Lowther Memorial Award and the Stephan G. Stephansson Award. She teaches North American literature and Creative Writing at the University of Windsor. She published a textbook entitled "How to Read (and Write About) Poetry" (Broadview 2015) and is the editor of "Intertidal; the Collected Poetry of Daphne Marlett Vol 1" (Talonbooks, 2017), and co-editor of "The Letters of Gertrude Stein and Virgil Thomson: Composition as Conversation" (Oxford 2010). She lives in Leamington, Ontario.

"Starmilk Teeth" by Callista Pitman

like dandelion seeds

or corn husks on the kitchen table

or tidal foams washing whales upon skeleton shores

In Starmilk Teeth, Callista Pitman explodes the quiet moments of youth with bombastic worlds outside of our own. Constantly searching for a path forward, she wanders and wonders through the anxious moments of change, from the domestic and calming to the dark and mysterious to the whimsical.

Callista Pitman spends most of her time walking through the suburbs, lying on forest
floors, and crying to podcasts. She is an alumnus of the Urban Arts Program 2021,
and her work lives in several local short story anthologies and contests by Vocamus
Press and the Guelph Public Library, as well as various notebooks and untitled Google
documents. Callista Pitman currently lives and studies in Guelph, Canada.
