In the second book of the Moonfall Trilogy, the story continues in a post-holocaust world inhabited by bicephalic humans - two-headed twins sharing the same body. With the birth of a new religion, which makes its saviors into victims, the children of Atwar must complete the prophecy of Moonfall.

These lyrical drawings and poems explore the theme of newborns in crisis. For the first time, the skill of artist and poet has been put to use in the technological environment of the neonatal intensive care ward. Heather Spears has opened a door hitherto closed to all but some health professionals and parents. In Drawings From the Newborn she discovers a poignant beauty within an otherwise harsh reality. Unlike a text on nursing, medical care or the difficulties of parenting premature babies, this work speaks to all through the language of art.

Literature & Fiction

Poetry

Ben-Simon Pubns

The poems are informed by the author's long sojourns in both Canada and Europe, and a new horizon appears: the author gets acquainted with a group of refugees from the Near East and in some of the poems describes their predicament and her own identification with these homeless people, who begin to define a new country of the mind. Winner of the Governor General's Award for Poetry and the Pat Lowther Award.

The Creative Eye - vision, drawing and the brain is a textbook for the next generation of visual artists about How To Draw - the very act of drawing and the act of human sight.
This book takes the teaching tradition of the previous 80 years and hauls it into the 21st century. It provides a masterclass of research and practical examples for students, instructors, professional artists, life drawing classes, and any reader curious about creativity. The Creative Eye closely examines the act of drawing, the act of human vision, includiong depth vision, not just "seeing flat" as is taught by recent how-to-draw manuals. How do the eyes really see? 
The Creative Eye accesses new research explaining what goes on in the hard-working visual brain - even what hinders us as we try to draw. Spears' method, developed over nearly half a century of international teaching, obsessive drawing and more than 20 books published, began as studio experiments and emerged as unique exercises in drawing. The book uses hundreds of illustrations of her own and student work, research on visual perception, and quotes and anecdotes of artists and poets. Heather persuades, informs and stimulates both the student and professional artist, injecting the fun and enthusiasm of the classroom into this new and amazing work. The Creative Eye stands highly praised, a modern classic in the theory and practice of drawing.
