To get a sense of Montreal, where it gets its 'joie de vivre,' it helps to spend time walking along its streets and vanishing into open doorways. The city is an artful place, with many public sculptures courting pedestrians along sidwalks and breeding idleness in town squares. Witness from up close, the city's distant and recent history in its old town and new city centre. Gawk at chiseled facades that do little else than offer themselves to you. Walk with some of Ville-Marie's residents alongside their monuments and listen to stories they have to tell. This book will shed light on the city in a variety of hues, so when you visit Montreal, take a walk and immerse yourself into the subject behind the cover: MONTREAL.

These are poems of bubble gum and dictators, kleptomaniacs and CD players left on repeat. A bulimic is watched by her cat, a grandfather dies and becomes a favourite colour, a frustrated lover shops at the 7-11 for forty days and forty nights, two girls make out in a bomb shelter, an ecstatic grandmother cranes her neck out the window of her heron-blue Mercury.

For Everyone at the Back: Poems

Kirk Johnson

These young authors explore a wide range of travel and genre: from an autobiographical tale about chasing news stories in Nicaragua, to short fiction about a young woman who has run away from her home in Gimli, Manitoba, to a long poem about Great Barrier Island in the South Pacific. Even if we've been to the places described, we haven't been there as these writers have. We haven't gone deaf in Guyana nor questioned visiting Ground Zero in the same way, though our unease with ourselves there may be similar. And even if we've been to Locon, France, we didn't meet the same people, though we might wish we had. The writing here is fresh, unique, and takes us on journeys that are unlike any others.
