POETIC PETALS is an anthology of poems Alinka Zyrmont has written throughout the years. Not having much time to dedicate to her hobby of gardening once she started writing romance novels, she came up with the idea of incorporating lovely photos of flowers to accompany each of her poems. The result was this lovely coffee table gift book, dedicated "to lovers everywhere." Many of the poems are of a romantic feeling, while others are more philosophical, and some are even in Spanish. Truly a nice gift for a wedding or birthday present. Certainly a sweet way to say to anyone: I love you!

The language employed in these poems is exquisite, often mirroring the delicate and intricate nature of the flowers themselves. The poets utilize vivid imagery and metaphorical language to evoke the sensory experience of being surrounded by blooming flora. Readers can almost feel the softness of petals, hear the rustle of leaves, and inhale the sweet perfume that wafts through the verses. The thematic range of the poems is expansive, reflecting the diverse meanings and cultural associations that flowers hold. Some verses explore the romantic allure of flowers, weaving narratives of love and desire that intertwine with the blooms. Others delve into the melancholy beauty of wilting petals, drawing parallels to the transient nature of life. The poems collectively create a nuanced portrait of the emotional spectrum, using flowers as metaphors to convey sentiments that resonate universally. One of the standout features of this anthology is its ability to fuse botanical knowledge with poetic expression. The poets demonstrate an intimate understanding of flowers, incorporating scientific details seamlessly into their verses. This blend of artistic creativity and botanical precision enhances the depth of the poems, offering readers a richer and more immersive experience as they explore the garden of verses.

Poetry. Andrew Zawacki's third book explores the dynamics of one and of none: being and nothingness, binary code, virtual flowers in a bulletproof vase, she loves me she loves me not. Inflected by an ecopoetics that lets the electro in, PETALS OF ZERO PETALS OF ONE consists of three concatenated tracks, sequenced in a low-tech echo chamber. Winner of the 1913 Prize, Georgia has been praised by Cole Swensen as a vibrant disaster that keeps us feeling falling, while Peter Gizzi calls it a high velocity tour-de-force. The central series, Arrow's shadow is a fractured ars poetica and an elegiac encounter with landscape and syllable, with pixelated forms and light. Storm, lustral choreographs an epileptic last dance along the ditch waters and wanderlust of the Dasein. This volume affirms Susan Howe's claim that Zawacki combines the disciplined perception of a naturalist with the inspired perception of a poet.

Rarity is a quality by which things flowers, leaves, light, sound fleetingly appear and disappear, leaving in their wake a resonance of something we just thought we had glimpsed. Each of the nine chapters in this book pursues such intimations of rarity in poetic ideas, images, and silences.

A much-anticipated debut collection from one of Canada’s most promising emerging poets Pebble Swing earns its title from the image of stones skipping their way across a body of water, or, in the author’s case, syllables and traces of her mother tongue bouncing back at her from the water’s reflective surface. This collection is about language and family histories. It is the author’s attempt to piece together the resonant aftermath of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, which stole the life of her paternal grandmother. As an immigrant whose grasp of Mandarin is fading, Wang explores absences in her caesuras and fragmentation—that which is unspoken, but endures. The poems in this collection also trace the experiences of a young poet who left home at seventeen to pursue writing; the result is a series of city poetry infused with memory, the small joys of Vancouver’s everyday, environmental politics, grief and notions of home. While the poetics of response are abundant in the collection—with poems written to Natalie Lim and Ashley Hynd—the last section of the book, "Thirteen Ghazals and Anti-Ghazals after Phyllis Webb," forges a continued response to Phyllis Webb on Salt Spring Island, and innovates within the possibilities of the experimental ghazal form.
