About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."

Description
With a precise eye for form and a clear love for the tone and timbre of language, Steven Laird creates a profound and surreal sense of place and time, upending it all with brilliant irony. Running through this collection is a disturbing sense that even the clearest perceptions - shaped by habits of speech and thought - can be treacherous, and standing on the highest rocks is a perilous act of faith.
Contributor Notes
Steven Laird's poetry has appeared in many Canadian journals, including Descant, Event, The New Quarterly, The Fiddlehead and Grain, while his reviews, interviews and essays have appeared in Books in Canada, The Canadian Writers Journal, and online at Writers Block and BookNinja.
