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
'Viral Suite' explores our relationship with self, other, environment, space, and time. The sensual and the cerebral. How the we/here/now is evolving and mutating with each downloaded packet.
"Viral Suite" is a poetic, narrative-driven science lesson. The book is unapologetically cerebral, and it takes risks." - Malahat Review
Contributor Notes
Mari-Lou Rowley was born in Edmonton and raised in Saskatoon. She worked in advertising and marketing in Edmonton and Toronto before moving to Vancouver in 1993, where she completed an MA in SFU's Graduate Liberal Studies Program. Mari-Lou is principal of Pro-Textual Communications, and her clients include UBC, the City of Vancouver, Science World, and others. Much of poetry is shaped by her work as a science and technology writer, as she incorporates the concepts of the language of science into her own writing. Previous books include 'Interference with the Hydrangea' (Thistledown Press, 2003), and 'a Knife a Rope a Book' (Underwhich Editions, 1990), and the chapbooks 'CatoptRomancer' and 'Boreal Surreal'.
