Best Seat in the House:

My Life in the Jeff Healey Band

Tom Stephen, Keith Elliot Greenberg

For 15 years, Tom Stephen had the unique distinction of being both drummer and manager of the Jeff Healey Band. The dual role was fraught with conflicts of interest. One minute, he was leading the debauched life of a rock musician; the next, he was disciplining the band for the havoc they caused.

But few knew or understood Jeff Healey — a national icon and one of the world’s best blues guitarists — better. Funny and loyal, with a luminous mind and staggering talent, Healey was also provincial, stubborn, obnoxious, and antagonistic. Tom Stephen was there for it all, and his stories of the road will show young fans Healey's brilliance, as well as all fans who want to understand the complicated man behind those timeless sounds.

Ice Diaries: An Antarctic Memoir

Jean McNeil

Winner of the Banff Mountain Book Festival

Grand Prize and one of the Guardian’s Best

Books of 2016, now in paperback.

British Canadian novelist Jean McNeil spent a

year as writer-in-residence with the British

Antarctic Survey, and four months on the world's

most enigmatic continent — Antarctica. Access to

the Antarctic remains largely reserved for

scientists, and it is the only piece of earth that is

nobody's country. Ice Diaries is the story of

McNeil's years spent in ice, not only in the

Antarctic but her subsequent travels to

Greenland, Iceland, and Svalbard.

Poetry

Everyone Rides the Bus in a City of Losers

Jason Freure

In the words of Margaret Thatcher, “A man who,

beyond the age of 26, finds himself on a bus can

count himself as a failure.” Everyone Rides the

Bus in a City of Losers is about wandering

Montreal's streets, with an eye on the storefronts

and alley cats, and one foot already in the

nearest dive bar. From a series of poems about

every station on the Metro to music venues long

shut down, it's sometimes fantastical, nostalgic,

funny, and even joyful — a sucker for landmarks,

always looking out for glimpses of the Farine Five

Roses sign, the Jacques Cartier Bridge, the cross

on Mont-Royal, and anything still neon.

Self-Defence for the Brave and Happy:

PoemsPaul Vermeersch

It is the Third Millennium. The 20th century is a

memory. Humans no longer walk on the moon.

Passenger planes no longer fly at supersonic

speeds. Disinformation overwhelms the legitimate

news. The signs of our civilization's demise are all

around us, but hope is not lost.

In these poems, you will find a map through our

dystopia and protection from all manner of

monsters, both natural and human made. Only the

products of our imaginations

— buildings and movies, daydreams and wondrous

machines — can show us how to transform our

lives. Self-Defence for the Brave and Happy is a

survival guide for the Dark Age that lies ahead.
