A brand new volume of previously unpublished writings from the archives reflecting Jack Kerouac’s Buddhist thinkingFrom a young age Kerouac was a spiritual thinker and questioner, and he always considered himself a spiritual writer. Buddhism gave more meaning to Jack’s work as a writer: he was working not for personal accomplishment and glory but for human betterment. And Buddhism justified his lifestyle: with its vision of the material world as empty and illusory, he was free to do what he wanted.This collection shows Jack at his earnest, soulful best. The writing is consistently and wonderfully Kerouacian: it is honest, reflective, heartfelt, and revealing, with great characterizations amid his self-exploration as he wrestles with his consciousness, desperate for belief.

This cross-disciplinary collection of feminist approaches to gesture offers new explorations of how gesture/s and feminism/s have animated one another in feminist and interdisciplinary artistic practice from the 1960s onwards.

Prophet. Entertainer. Courtier. Criminal. Revolutionary. Critic. Scholar. Nobody. Epic in sweep, Context Collapse is the secret history of the poet - from Bronze Age Greece and Renaissance Italy to the cafes of Grub Street and the Latin Quarter, from the creative writing departments of the American Midwest to the boardrooms of Silicon Valley. Cheekily introducing academic discourse, media studies, cybersemiotics, literary sociology, and heterodox economics into his blank verse study of poetry, Ruby traces the always delicate dance between poets, their publishers, and their audiences, and shows how, time and time again, the social, technological, and aesthetic experiments that appear in poetic language have prefigured radical changes to the ways of life of millions of people. It is precisely to poets to whom we ought to turn to catch a glimpse, as Shelley once put it, of the 'gigantic shadows futurity casts on the present.''Ruby is a public intellectual with an accessible style and an appealing candor who promises to bring poetry and philosophy together again on the stage of literary criticism.' - The judges of the Robert B. Silvers Prize.

Crowd Source parallels the daily migration of the crows who, aside from fledgling season, fly across metro Vancouver every day at dawn and dusk. This durational study echoes their flight, occasionally touching down to reflect on human-crow interactions. Attentive to the great intelligence and perspectives of corvid and non-human communications, the poems in Crowd Source engage historical and strategic examples of how these songbirds gather and disperse. Continuing Nicholson's engagement with the contemporary climate crisis, social movements, and Black diasporic relations, this is a text for all concerned about practising ecological futurities befitting corvid sensibilities, caw.

Revolutions sifts through the grains of Muslim daughterhood to find four metaphorical circles inextricably overlapping: shame, pleasure, waiting, and surveillance. In an extended conversation with Mona Hartoum's + and -, Revolutions asks how young Arab women - who live in homes and communities where actions are surveilled and categorized as 3aib or not 3aib, shameful or acceptable - make and unmake their identities.Revolutions works between poetic traditions. It places its response to Hatoum's artwork in a Palestinian and Iraqi lineage, drawing on other artists such as Mahmoud Darwish and Naseer Shamma. At the same time, Revolutions looks to feminist Canadian poets like Erín Moure, M. NourbeSe Philip, Nicole Brossard, and Syd Zolf in the way it manipulates sources, erases text, and invokes many simultaneously possible readings. Revolutions invites us to read across its poems, finding echoes along the way, turning and re-turning around the circles.

Convivialities is a collection of dialogues with contemporary writers and artists conducted over great distances and extended periods of time. These conversations focus on poetics, both the theory of poetry (its forms, histories, and critical categories) and the theory of poiesis (i.e., making). The dialogues vary. Some are chatty, others theoretical. They model how we might talk, think, and listen together, both to one another and to the sites and greater communities where we are situated. Convivialities investigates how the collected writers and artists craft their works, the contexts in which they make them, the intellectual and artistic histories that inspire their own ways of working, and the cultural issues that are at the core of their practices. And, perhaps most of all, it asks how they continue to create in a world ravaged by climate crisis, economic crisis, settler colonialism, and imperialism.
