A CBC BOOKS MUST-READ NONFICTION BOOK FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH Nominated for the Toronto Book Award Smartly dressed and smiling, Canada’s black train porters were a familiar sight to the average passenger—yet their minority status rendered them politically invisible, second-class in the social imagination that determined who was and who was not considered Canadian. Subjected to grueling shifts and unreasonable standards—a passenger missing his stop was a dismissible offense—the so-called Pullmen of the country’s rail lines were denied secure positions and prohibited from bringing their families to Canada, and it was their struggle against the racist Dominion that laid the groundwork for the multicultural nation we know today. Drawing on the experiences of these influential black Canadians, Cecil Foster’s They Call Me George demonstrates the power of individuals and minority groups in the fight for social justice and shows how a country can change for the better.

Daydreaming On A Train to Canada (On My Way) represents musings running through a modern immigrant passenger's mind aboard a train ride to Canada; a modern immigrant passenger who has been around the world and has finally decided to settle down in Canada. His tapestry of thoughts are penned in the form of poems throughout his long train ride during which he fluctuates between a dream state and reality. What begins as a metaphorical train ride eventually becomes a real one. This anthology pays tribute to contemporary and sometimes controversial issues that plague our world today. There are many introspective moments from the passenger's subliminal mind intimately weaved into the collection. After all, the immigrant passenger is an allegory of the modern human condition. Many of us are at some point in a journey towards a destination. Along the way, there may be obstacles encountered and lessons learnt. Likewise, in this collection there are many checkpoints and stations along the way, reflecting the chapters in the chronology of life. The question remains if the immigrant passenger does reach the final destination; everyone hopes he does but does he eventually?...

Holden eloquently lures us into his world of filmic verse and imagistic wanderlust. We have no choice but to take these illuminating trips with the poet, from one unsettling moment to another. An economy of language, an attention to the importance of the image, and a sophisticated understanding of rhetoric make this an essential read. This is a book that celebrates both the lyric and the avant-garde, the formal and the abstract. Trains of Winnipeg is an outstanding and unique poetic debut.

Native Poetry in Canada: A Contemporary Anthology is the only collection of its kind. It brings together the poetry of many authors whose work has not previously been published in book form alongside that of critically-acclaimed poets, thus offering a record of Native cultural revival as it emerged through poetry from the 1960s to the present. The poets included here adapt English oratory and, above all, a sense of play. Native Poetry in Canada suggests both a history of struggle to be heard and the wealth of Native cultures in Canada today.

East and West, Laura Ritland's astonishing debut, is a book of visions. These are roving poems drawn to defamiliarizing points of view, and are exquisitely attentive to the way the world exceeds our senses ("Cloud deduced cloud / after cloud and cloud.") Beckoningly tender, lucid and intelligent, elegaic without being maudlin, East and West explores what Ritland calls the "middle ground" of childhood, family, diaspora, and migration, and how new cultural ideas can disrupt traditional perspectives. "My bedroom window an escape hatch / to endless sights of coastal stars." Ritland takes the measure of herself-- "I'm an integer of my own society"--in one of the most distinctive and beautifully turned styles in Canadian poetry.
