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."
A beautifully written collection of poetry by Robin Dyke, inciting readers to engage with the profound emotions within themselves. Lasting Leaving Left explores the natural side of humanity, venturing through topics both universal and personal. Robin Dyke's lyricism shows readers the thread that connects man with nature and all things in between.The poems in this collection represent attempts to capture the image of the ideas and experiences of the moment--to explore the territory of something noticed and probe its source for meaning. Each poem emerged innocently on its own. When assembled as a collection the underlying theme of aging and departure became more evident--hence the title Lasting, Leaving, Left--aging as the art and courage of keeping the body in touch with the soul.
