Fear Not: Poems “lyrical, political, blasphemous...”ABOUT THE COLLECTION BY MAURICE MIERAU I’ve been fascinated with the Bible for a long time. My family background is Mennonite and we grew up saturated in Biblical text. I studied New Testament Greek in college. However, my father was a linguist and a critical reader of the Bible, so my influences were more intellectual than evangelical. |

ABOUT THE STORIES BY A.S. PENNE The stories in Reckoning were written between 1992 and 2006, and include some of my first attempts at fiction writing. A few (“How To Take a Lover,” for example) were written in a single draft, but most went through many rewrites, a few requiring as many as twenty drafts. |

HOW CAN YOU KNOW ANOTHER IF YOU DON'T FIRST KNOW YOURSELF? “The grammar of melancholy is transformed by the supple wit of A.S. Penne’s writing. Droll, clear-eyed and compassionate, this first collection marks the emergence of a wickedly talented star in the Canadian firmament.”
—Eden Robinson, author of Blood Sports WINNIPEG—In Reckoning, A.S. Penne scrutinizes the all too human desire to be understood and known by others before first understanding and knowing one’s self. |

“And he said to them, ‘Why are you afraid? How is it you have no faith?’”
—Mark4:40 Winnipeg—Faith and irony are at the centre of Fear Not by Maurice Mierau. The phrase “Fear Not” appears 80 times in the Bible, so it is more than an apt title for a new poetry collection inspired by the Gideon New Testament & Psalms. |
