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
Finalist, Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize (BC Book Prizes)
Ivanhoe Station is a début collection that rivets with poetic imagery as sharp as movie graphics. These poems address, in turn, social and political questions, while focussing - centrally - on a theme of transcendence.
Praise for Ivanhoe Station:
"These poems pack a wallop. They 'steam and churn' with the energy of the city." (Lorna Crozier)
"a moral vision, lofty in its ideals, but glorious in its deliverance." (UPTOWN Magazine)
"Lyle Neff's poems mix sexual bravura with a vaguely formulated political awareness." (Canadian Book Review Annual)
