Gudrun Björk Gudsteins, an English Professor from the University of Iceland, reviews David Arnason's Baldur's Song in U of M's Canadian Ethnic Studies Journal, Volume 43-44. Gudsteins appreciates Arnason's fantastical take on historical events, writing that, "above all this [novel] is the saga of the rebirth or revival of the “family” of Icelanders in their new homeland" and that "Baldur’s Song is an ode to the joys and opportunities and bountiful rewards of the new…
Poet Steve Locke reviews Kristian Enright’s award-winning collection of poetry, Sonar, in Prairie Fire Review of Books' most recent issue. Locke applauds Enright for side-stepping the archetypes and clichés that his subject matter invites and writes that, rather, "Enright successfully steers right into the heart of his central speaker by pitting the characteristics of his abstract mind against itself." Locke writes that, by challenging "the conceptualization of madness and creativity," Enright has created a narrative,…
Locus Magazine reviewed Chadwick Ginther's urban fantasy Thunder Road in their April issue, praising Ginther for striking a balance between the "real" and the "supernatural": "Without a trace of antagonistic empires, vast armies, or the schemes of eldritch sorcery...Ginther write[s] fantasy that resonates the deepest when it strikes close to home."
Rhubarb Magazine praises Dora Dueck's What You Get at Home in their Spring Issue, writing that "everything about it is engaging." Reviewer MaryLou Driedger notes that at the heart of these short stories are "women discovering their voices" and that "the ultimate pleasure of reading What You Get at Home is the author’s creative prose, which often sounds more like poetry. Readers will find themselves going back to certain passages many times to savour them."
