The Sacred Tree
by R.B. Orlando
In the summer of 1984, Kyri and his friends are looking forward to the warm, lazy days ahead. But unbeknownst to them, this so-called vacation is going to be quite the adventure. When a sacred tree gives Kyri visions of the future, he and his friends uncover a plot that will see their beloved forest destroyed to make way for a full-scale development. It’s up to the young teenagers—and possibly some magical wolves—to save the town from their crooked mayor and a shady developer. But can just a few people stand up to a big corporation with money and power? Or is this the end of the beautiful forest that’s so important to them all? The Sacred Tree is a coming-of-age story that weaves together Nordic mythology and climate activism to remind us that no matter how small we feel, we can make a difference.

The Wheel
by Jack Head
History is more than dates and events on a timeline, more than a handful of significant people who have an impact. It is comprised of the stories of individuals who are often forgotten and full of truths too often elided—until one begins to look for them. In The Wheel, Jack Head puts faces on the heroes of the Underground Railroad, bringing history to life through the stories of everyday people who all brought something unique to the fight for freedom. These personalities include William Poor, who doesn’t yet realize how the trade skills he learns from his father and grandfather will allow him to help those seeking freedom, Mingo Quameno, an enslaved person seeking freedom, and other notable figures from the abolitionist movement. In realizing these narratives, Head refuses to turn away from the realities often ignored in this history—like the covert ways slavery continued after abolition and the slave trade in Canada. A combination of the author’s passion for genealogy with his decades-long study of the individuals who make up history, The Wheel is a historically detailed, narratively compelling account of the Underground Railroad that is both engrossing and informative.

Still Life
and other poems by Brian Gold
The poems in this collection explore a life lived at the intersection of family, travel, daily observation, ecology, ageing and professional musings, experienced over seven decades by the writer who was blessed to be born in a country where anything is possible. Oh Canada! One of the poems in this collection (also below), playfully encourages readers to find the poet within themselves. How To Write a Poem It’s all in the way you look at it. It’s not a photograph, it’s not all rhyme, although it might be. Reject more than you retain. Punctuate like a Rothko. Finish before you need to. Sprinkle magic as required. Voilà!
