How Thought Feels: the poetry of M.Travis Lane
Literary Criticism Monograph: number five
Shane Neilson, editor
Essays by Jan Zwicky, Jeanette Lynes and Shane Neilson
Travis Lane is a sorely neglected poet from New Brunswick. With over fifteen books of poetry published, her poetry has sung largely out of earshot of the Canadian poetry establishment. She is also a humble woman and did not grab the megaphone to force people to listen. In How Thought Feels, Frog Hollow Press grabs the megaphone. Celebrated poet, philosopher, and essayist Jan Zwicky considers Lane's poetics; Jeanette Lynes situates Lane in the ecopoetics tradition; and Shane Neilson considers demographic and thematic factors (especially Lane's superlative moral-ethical-spiritual work) which reinforce Lane's ongoing neglect. Because Lane has served as a poetry reviewer for over fifty years, and because her prose is the spiritual antecedent to the critical prose in this volume, How Thought Feels provides a complete prose bibliography on Lane as well as two unique compiled long poems that scavenge elements from Travis' poetry to make for a coherent statement upon Lane's central concerns as poet.

Artwork by John Haney
It gives Frog Hollow pleasure to bring together a young, talented Canadian poetry critic with Peter Sanger, dean of Canadian poetry criticism, and an unfairly neglected poet in his own right. Living in the Orchard is Amanda Jernigan's intimate look at Sanger's work and example. Suspicious of biography, Sanger is nonetheless intensely interested in the relationship between art and life: Jernigan considers the intersections between life and letters that his work enacts. Including a comprehensive bibliography of Sanger's prose-works, this monograph is both a major contribution to and a starting point for future Sanger scholarship. It includes new artwork by Jernigan's husband, the visual artist John Haney, making for a tribute to Sanger's own history of word-and-image collaborations. You will feel personally involved in this essay: a story of metamorphosis, it is a metamorphosis in itself.
Offered as a limited edition numbered book of 80 pp. Printed on 57 lb. 100% PCW paper. Endsheets. Typeset in Garamond Premier Pro.
Edition of 150 numbered copies of which 105 are for sale.

Literary Criticism Monograph: number three
by Shane Neilson
Shane Neilson has written an "adventures in creative non-fiction criticism" monograph about Milton Acorn. Shane writes about Acorn's life and work as the example it should be for Canadian poets. Acorn's successes and failures are considered, using the recently released In a Springtime Instant, a collected poems of Acorn released by Mosaic Press, as a foil. The exuberance of Shane's prose attempts to match Acorn's restless energy.
Offered as a Sewn soft-covered limited edition book of 52 pp. Printed on 57 lb. 100% PCW paper with a full colour cover and multiple greyscale endpapers. Full colour cover. Typeset in Garamond Premier Pro.

Sue Sinclair and Shane Neilson wish to apologize to Jenn Carson for failing to include her poem "Dispatches from the suburbs must sound like angels pissing" in Gnaw and Gnarl. The error was discovered by the editors after the chapbook was printed. To attempt to remediate the mistake, Frog Hollow has printed its first ever erratum sheet that will be inserted in all remaining copies of the chapbook.

The Noise of the Weeping of the People
New Brunswick Chapbook Series: volume one
Short Fiction by Nancy Bauer
Nancy Bauer was born in Massachusetts and moved to NB in 1965. She has received awards like the CBC Literary Award for the short story in 1982 and the Alden Nowlan Award for Literary Excellence in 1999. She co-founded the Maritime Writers' Workshop, served as a member of the organizing committee of the Writers' Federation of NB, and held the writer-in-residence position at UNB. This is her first bound publication in over twenty years.
New Brunswick Chapbook Series:
Nancy Bauer released 25 chapbooks as publisher of the New Brunswick Chapbook series. Authors in the series included some names that form the firmament of Canadian Literature, including a chapbook of poetry by David Adams Richards. The cover of The Noise of the Weeping of the People is inspired by the original design used on those same chapbooks, originally commissioned from Fredericton-located (but nationally renowned) artists Bruno Bobak and Marjory Donaldson. Our Volume One (2016) features an architectural drawing of the Arts ad Library Groups at the University of New Brunswick — the University has graciously granted us permission to use this image. Nancy Bauer's chapbook will be the first entry in a revisioned New Brunswick Chapbook series published by Frog Hollow Press.

Distributaries
Poetry chapbook by Laura McRae
Laura McCrae's debut chapbook is an ambitious long poem that distributes a wide range of film, visual art, and literary references across a personal and public narrative that relies upon water for order, just as humans history has done. Obviously impressive at the level of structure and endurance, the key recommendation we make about this text is its scoured, careful language: McCrae's precision, brevity, and magpie eye make this a quite unusual debut, one that makes each word earn its keep.

Nobody's Empire
Poetry chapbook by Nathaniel G. Moore
Nathaniel Moore offers readers his trademark poignant nostalgia: love as an adolescent, undercut by goofball and tragic humour. Frog Hollow Press is proud to present this veteran poet in a disciplined way, with Moore's beautiful excess of antique pop imagery and jokes steadily doing the work of poetry.

2015 Titles
Brotherly Love: poems of Sappho and Charaxos
Poetry chapbook by Annick MacAskill
Taking off from recent discoveries, Annick MacAskill creates an alternate, imaginative history-in-poetry involving Sappho and her lesser-known sibling, Charaxos, creating a poetic epistolary conversation that is sharp in image and steeped in wry tenderness. MacAskill is a new voice that animates an ache across the centuries.

The Child Alone
The Kid Series: volume two
Brian Bartlett, editor
Artwork by Laura Bartlett
For this second volume Brian has chosen "poems about childhood without a parental point-of-view".
The Poets:
Margaret Avison — Tim Bowling — Alice Burdick — Don Coles — Nancy Holmes —
M. Travis Lane — Irving Layton — Ross Leckie — Dennis Lee — Sharon McCartney —
Carmelita McGrath — Don McKay — Eric Miller — Vanessa Moeller — Alden Nowlan —
Eric Ormsby — P. K. Page — James Reaney — Robyn Sarah — Eleonore Schönmaier —
Carmine Starnino — Bruce Taylor — Susan Telfer — Patrick Warner
The Kid Series evolves, in this instance with Brian Bartlett selecting poems that involve the theme and subject of childhood, and with the requisite series twist: these poems feature a child-consciousness without the overwhelming presence of a parent speaker. To introduce the volume, Brian has written a superb essay that contextualizes the "kid poem" in Canada and also establishes his own personal vision of the form.
Printed on 80 lb. Mohawk Via Vellum and Smyth-sewn into a full-colour soft cover. Endpapers. Illustrations.
Edition of 150 copies, of which approx. 105 will be for sale. 78 pages.

Her selection provides a snapshot of poetry as it is being written, providing attention to poets who will, like Rebecca, be known based on the quality of the work they've written and work they will write.

The City Series: number one — Vancouver
Michael Prior, Guest Editor
Cover photograph by Amanda Siebert
The Poets:
Emily Chou — Emily Davidson — Ruth Daniell - Sugar le Fae — Megan Jones — Darius Kinney - Allesandra Naccarato — Shazia Hafiz Ramji — Laura Ritland — Shaun Robinson
Wunderkind Michael Prior assembles together ten Vancouver poets who are all unpublished in book or chapbook form. He has sought out talented people whose verse somehow represents his city's poetic and introduced that poetic in personal prose. The poets in The City Series: Vancouver constitute a cross-section of poetry that is diverse, brainy, and emotional, upending stereotypes about Vancouver as a poetry-town.

Factory
Poems by Robert Colman
Rob Colman embraces the theme of factory work and industrial decline to create a poetics of parts. These parts work together to create a kind of found, cut life that mocks white collar hypocrisy as much as it satirizes the empty pleasures of sex. In the end, this impressive collection seems to say, there is only verisimilitude and the real pleasure of form.

Sing to Me in the Cut: Ekphrasis on George Walker by Canadian Poets
Shane Neilson, editor
Wood engravings by George A. Walker
George Walker is one of the transcendent artists of our time. That he largely works in wood engravings has limited his popular appeal but recent efforts (like Walker's The Life and Times of Conrad Black, a biography of Conrad Black published by the Porcupine's Quill & The Wordless Leonard Cohen Songbook, also from the Porcupine's Quill, also a biographical mosaic of its famous subject) will change that. Early accomplishments will cement his legacy too: Walker was the first Canadian to illustrate Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking-Glass. Walker's track record transforming other cultural materials into art has now been paid back in a very preliminary sense: Frog Hollow Press' Sing to me in the cut is a book of ekphrasis by Canadian poets who have responded to images in either of Walker's The Inverted Line (PQL 2000) or Images from the Neocerebellum (PQL 2007). Poem and wood engravings are paired in the book, demonstrating that Walker has inspired several generations of Canadian poets. The poets range from mature, generation-leading talents like Al Moritz to up-and-comers like Blair Trewartha. Each poet answers George's incredible work, agreeing that, yes, the roads are their veins; the moon matters; portraits are always of pain; that there's something not right with the picture.

Play: Poems About Childhood
The Kid Series: volume one
Shane Neilson, editor
Artwork by Kazuo Neilson
Shane Neilson has collected together poems about childhood and parenthood by over 25 Canadian poets. The list of assembled poets is a holistic who's who of Canadian poetry: Christian Bok, George Elliott Clarke, Alden Nowlan, Steven Heighton, Ken Babstock, Milton Acorn, Susan Holbrook, Travis Lane, Wayne Clifford, and more. These poems served Shane during the year his son and daughter were ill. An introductory essay provides a cognitive mapping of the provenance of the anthology, situating the poems that come afterward. Part scholarly, part impression, and all record of a difficult time, this is an unusual, idiosyncratic anthology that follows an emotional logic. The poems build a narrative of beauty, destruction, defiance, and life.
Play: Poems About Childhood is the first in a planned series of such "rotating personal canon" anthologies, and future anthologists in the series will put their stamp on the same topic by including poems that they apply to their own lives.
The Poets:
Milton Acorn — Ken Babstock — Gary Barwin
Derek Beaulieu — Linda Besner — Gregory Betts
Christian Bok — Mark Callanan — Margaret Christakos
George Elliott Clarke — Wayne Clifford
Jesse Patrick Ferguson — Steven Heighton

The Book of Widows
Contemporary Canadian Poets: Volume 6.
New poems by M.Travis Lane
Wood engravings by George A.Walker
"Travis Lane has crafted a book comprised of grief: the first half is devoted to grieving myths, taking famous widows and their kicking sorrows; the second half is visceral grief, the poet's own, focusing on the death of her husband and its aftermath. This is a morbid collection in the best sense: funereal and felt, a resigned protest against what can't be fought, the inevitability of all things returning to poetry." - Shane Neilson

John Glassco and the Other Montreal
Canadian Masters Series: volume two
Selections and essay by Carmine Starnino
Original portrait by Wesley Bates
"Unsmiling and seigneurial, John Glassco stares out from the back of his 1971 Selected Poems. He is sixty-two. His mustache is trimmed, his ascot crisp; a pampered air attends his expression…
Glassco — Buffy, to friends — was at the height of his prestige not only as a poet (Selected Poems would go on to win the Governor-General's Award for Poetry) but as a diversely gifted man of letters. Memoirs of Montparnasse, a sparkling evocation of Paris during the 1920s, had been published to wide acclaim the previous year. It was joined by The Poetry of French Canada in Translation, a landmark anthology where nearly half the contributions were done by his own hand. Adding to these achievements were critical essays, book reviews, short stories, even pornographic novels…
A first-rate stylist, Glassco regarded writing as a challenge best overcome by panache. No matter the genre, he always showed the world a well-cut form. He ran with a pack of Montreal poets, among them F.R. Scott and Ralph Gustafson, who brought something courtly and sophisticated to Canadian Literature…"
And so begins Carmine Starnino's introduction to the book.

Poetry by David Helwig
Cover art 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.
Offered in two bindings, both of which have been printed on acid-free, archival 80 lb. Mohawk Superfine Text. Covers have been printed using an Epson printer with K3 pigment inks. Typeface: Sabon, designed by Jan Tschichold. 108 pp.
