Hang Down Your Head

Join Randy Craig for a roller coaster read with more twists than the Mindbender. Hang on to your hat for Hang Down Your Head. It’s Janice MacDonald at the top of her game. —Suzanne North, author of the Phoebe Fairfax

Drift

South Africa is long way from Canada. In 1899, two prairie boys throw themselves into the conflict of the Second Boer War looking for something their small-town lives cannot provide. With breathtaking grace, Leo Brent Robillard delivers an unstoppable story.

Alert to Glory

"Sound the trumpets! Sally Ito’s Alert to Glory is a clarion call … A transformative book both salt and sweet." — Susan McCaslin

Dadolescence

"This witty meditation on manly manliness is a head-butt at academic pretension and the Sword of Damocles that is the PhD thesis. A new novel so good, you’ll actually finish it." - Al Rae, Artistic Director, CBC Winnipeg Comedy Festival.

What the Bear Said

What the Bear Said is a marvellous collection of fables. The stories are immediate, the characters, both human and supernatural, crackle with life . . . —W. P. Kinsella

Portraits of Winnipeg

Winnipeg artist and designer, Robert J. Sweeney, captures Winnipeg’s urban landscape in this remarkable collection of sketches, Portraits of Winnipeg: The River City in Pen and Ink.

Bandit

Bandit is a masterful portrait of a complex human being and of his time. It's also a powerful reminder that no place is beyond the reach of myth . . . -The Winnipeg Free Press

Fluttertongue 5

Blessed with a savvy eye and a sound ear, Steven Ross Smith turns verse with a sure hand. Each poem is a splendid meditation that makes brilliant abracadabra out of the bric-a-brac of everyday pleasures and perils. —George Elliott Clarke

Mierau shortlisted for ReLit Award for poetry

Turnstone Press is pleased to announce that Maurice Mierau, author of Fear Not, has been shortlisted for the prestigious ReLit Award for poetry. Presented annually for works published by Canadian independent presses, the award recognizes excellence in short fiction, novel, and poetry.

The poems in Fear Not are inspired by the Gideon Bible's list of self-help topics and ranges in subject from suicide to divorce, unemployment to gratitude. While attempting consolation, the poems continually mock their own failure to lessen human pain.

Mierau's first book of poems, Ending with Music (Brick Books, 2002), was a finalist for the Eileen McTavish Sykes Award for Best First Book. Beginning October 1, 2009, he will be the Winnipeg Public Library's Writer in Residence. He lives in Winnipeg with his family, working as a writer, editor and teacher.
