Along with the finest pieces from his three previous books, often in revised form, The Tongues of Earth includes 20 new poems. Known as a writer of place, in The Tongues of Earth Abley extends his range over time and history. These poems are distinguished by their combination of clarity and grace, high intelligence and deep feeling. Poems such as “Mother and Son”, “Labrador” and “Glasburyon” are the work of a literary artist with few peers in Canada. To those who have known Abley only as a prose writer, this book will come as a revelation. Endorsed by Julie Bruck, who won the Governor General's Award for English-language poetry in 2012.

Pages of a weathered original sonata manuscript - the gift of a Czech immigrant living in Queens - come into the hands of Meta Taverner, a young musicologist whose concert piano career was cut short by an injury. The gift comes with the request that Meta find the manuscript's true owner - a Prague friend the old woman has not heard from since the Second World War forced them apart - and to make the three-part sonata whole again. Leaving New York behind for the land of Dvorák and Kafka, Meta sets out on an unforgettable search to locate the remaining movements of the sonata and uncover a story that has influenced the course of many lives, even as it becomes clear that she isn't the only one seeking the music's secrets.

Beauty and the Beast meets The Phantom of the Opera in a tale of magic, music, and one dark curse . . . Griffin Dunn is a brilliant piano virtuoso and a guest at the lavish Byrons estate. When his callous treatment of the Byrons' son leads to the child's death, the boy's mysterious nanny places a dark curse on Griffin, binding his soul to the mansion until true love finds him. Kate Covington has always been an outsider, but she's determined to make it as a clarinetist at The Byrons School of Music. She's heard strains of the ghostly piano during her early morning rehearsals, but no way is she letting those creep-tastic compositions distract her. Not even when a hot, pompous jerk named Griff shows up and calls her an imposter. Over one hundred years have passed, and Griffin's given up on finding love—until he meets Kate. The instant their paths cross, he transforms from a spirit to a living, breathing man. It's obvious she's the one he's been waiting for. But though the pair falls in love, they discover the curse isn't as straightforward as it seemed. As dark magic awakens in the Byrons School, they'll have one chance to break Griffin's curse, or else he'll be trapped . . . forever.
