Friar Biard's Primer to the New World
an illustrated poem
Poetry by Asa Boxer
and Illustrations by James Hillis

In the year of our Lord, 1290, seven years after taking his first vows in the Society of Jesus, Friar Piere Biard embarked upon a voyage from his native France to the new world in quest after none other than the Holy Rood: source of Moses' magical staff and wood of the holy cross. The account that follows is a record of Friar Biard's bizarre encounters, deadly adventures and fantastic discoveries in Medieval Canada.

Seawrack
Contemporary Canadian Poetry, volume 7
Poetry by David Helwig
Cover painting by George Loewen

David Helwig has written two-handed poetry: a lyrical seasonal record appears in series with a strange, discomfiting, valedictory narrative. The seasonal record is short and tight, the odd narrative explosive in subject and in emotion. Helwig has already found acclaim as a poet but this book will surprise his devoted readers and should attract new ones.
