Edge collects thirty years of essays, reviews, and interviews by celebrated Newfoundland poet Mary Dalton. Driven by a need to reconfigure how the margin is seen in literature, culture and politics, Dalton explores the work of writers and artists who occupy an imaginative threshold or edge: from the dark visions of Samuel Beckett to the dialogue novels of I. Compton-Burnett, from the apocalyptic Boatman paintings of fellow artist Gerald Squires to the vernacular poetry of John Steffler. Showcasing a use of language as vivid, precise, and supple as that in Daltons award-winning poetry, Edge reflects the range of a major Canadian poets interests and influences and celebrates what she calls people being grounded in their place, people knowing where they were, who they were, having a sense of connection to the land.

The word allow has roots in the Latin verb laudare, to praise. These poems seek to allow the music of that which is muted in a world of bellowing. In Section I, light plays on the veined ways of vegetation, of poetry, of eros. Section II illuminates states of alienation and longing. The fierce light of Swift burns in Section IV; these poems lament Newfoundland's losses and celebrate its landscape, language, and culture.

In this pocket sized book of all things wonderful, Mary Dalton explores how we might be more resourceful with our food, both as an individual and as a society. From growing herbs in builders' rubble to hunting wild mushrooms at dawn, this collection of recipes and stories will make you think, smile and engage. Suitable for all those interested in unusual recipes and stories with an element of the wild about them.

Now completely revised and updated, the classic guide that helps mothers- and fathers-to-be conceive more easily and boost the odds of a healthy pregnancy
Covering preconception and interconception (between-pregnancy) well-being for women and men, Amy Ogle and Lisa Mazzullo draw on new research from their complementary fields of expertise and reveal how good preconception health can lower the risk of pregnancy complications and improve lifelong health.
