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
"? While the dictionary defines raucous as 'hoarse, rough, or harsh in sound.' New's collection is anything but. New's images and his brilliant language imbue his poems with the ability to temporarily halt the rushed city dweller into quiet reflection ...at the end of the journey there is a dazzling array of colour and a sense of seeing nature in all her majesty for the first time.' Quill & Quire
