P. K. Page is one of Canada’s esteemed poets. In addition to winning the Governor General's award for poetry in 1957, she was appointed a Companion of the Order of Canada in 1999 and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 2007. She is the author of dozens of books of poetry, short stories, books for children, a novel and a memoir, entitled Brazilian Journal, based on her extended stay in Brazil with her late husband, Arthur Irwin, who served as the Canadian Ambassador there from 1957 to 1959.
P. K. Page was born in England and brought up on the Canadian prairies. She has lived in the Maritimes and in Montreal. After years abroad in Australia, Brazil and Mexico, she now makes her permanent home in Victoria, British Columbia.Who is Cullen? It is tempting to identify the protagonist of the five poems that bear Cullen’s name, and that span P.K. Page’s career, as a fictional self-portrait, if only because Cullen ages in parallel with the author, and shares many of her experiences. But perhaps it would make more sense to see Cullen as a fictional, and not uncritical, portrait of a fellow pilgrim through the journey of life... a process of evolution from matter to spirit. –Zailig Pollock 26 pages Linen Cover and Paper$7.50 |
| The Filled Pen: an Outlaw Editions Audio book. Poems by P.K. Page Written and narrated by P.K. Page
"Her poetry reaches our core and shakes it. P.K.'s poetry is absolutely necessary."—Shelagh Rogers, host of CBC Radio’s "Sounds like Canada"
P.K. Page is one of Canada’s most cherished and esteemed poets. The winner of a Governor General’s Award for her 1954 collection The Metal and the Flower, she has graced Canadian literature with her luminous poems for over 60 years.Now, audio listeners can experience the musical voice of the poet herself, reading a selection of her finest work. The Filled Pen features poems that span the whole of P.K. Page’s distinguished career, from the oft-anthologized "Photos of a Salt Mine" and "Stories of Snow" to more recent work, such as the title poem from her Griffin-Poetry-Prize-nominated collection Planet Earth. "No poet has a more impeccable sense of timing," observes critic Rosemary Sullivan. "Somehow when P.K. Page breaks the syntax of a line—and you hear it best when she reads—something cracks in you and opens to the light." Born in England, P.K. Page grew up on the Canadian prairies. She is the author of more than a dozen books of poetry, fiction and non-fiction. In 2001, her poem "Planet Earth" was chosen by the United Nations to be read aloud around the world. She lives in Victoria, British Columbia. POETRY 1 CD / 1 hr 1-895790-21-2 $14.95 __________________________________ |

Questions for Ariadne
The Labyrinth and the End of Times
By Carol Matthews
Questions for Ariadne includes elements of fiction, non-fiction, myth and memoir.
Through conversations with the mythical Mistress of the Labyrinth, Ariadne, the author
considers the story of the labyrinth and contemplates ways in which walking the labyrinth
helps her to face advancing old age and approaching death. This exploration takes place in
labyrinths around British Columbia and in Toronto. Although some of the characters are
fictional, the labyrinth hobbyists, builders and writers are real, as are the author’s husband
and granddaughter, and the labyrinths themselves.

The Book of Moonlight Poems by Don McKayOutrageous, eloquent, exact: here, apposed, are family life and lunacy, the "health and fitness propaganda" of the sun and "moonlight, doling out illusion like a medicine." The Book of Moonlight, like its subject, honours rubber gloves, bare feet, the face in the bathroom mirror, and keeps "reality from overdosing on its own sane self." --Marlene Cookshaw
I wish I had written this book! –Wallace Stevens
