Yo-yoing between Regina and Winnipeg, Farinata crosses paths with colonial ghosts, cosplay enthusiasts, a Faulknerian gossip, a rogue tree-cop, and a sweet potato activist. With equal parts playfulness and decadence, Garry Thomas Morse renders the Beckettish adventures of the lovelorn libertine with hypnotic surrealism. A dizzying display of literary opulence and allusion, Yams Do Not Exist finds footholds in Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy, footnoting a twisting, prairie roadmap to romance, by turns hellish and sublime. Garry Thomas Morse Garry Thomas Morse grew up on the BC coast and now lives in Winnipeg. He has published several collections of poetry, notably Discovery Passages, about his Kwakwaka’wakw Indigenous ancestors, shortlisted for the Governor General’s Award and the Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize, and Prairie Harbour, also shortlisted for a Governor General’s Award. He has twice been shortlisted for the national Re-Lit Award for fiction, and has served as the Jack McClelland Writer-in-Residence at the University of Toronto and the Carol Shields Writer- in-Residence at the University of Winniepg.

Carefully, she mines the failing memories of her aging mother to revive a mysterious Uncle and relive the tragic downfall of her brother. Catherine remembers, and in the process, discovers darker family secrets, long silenced, and their devastating aftermath. Spanning decades between rural Alberta and Winnipeg, All That Belongs is an elegant examination of our own ephemeral histories, the consequences of religious fanaticism, and the startling familial ties—and shame—that bind us. Dora Dueck Dora Dueck is the award-winning author of numerous books, articles, and short stories. Her novel, This Hidden Thing, won the 2010 McNally Robinson Book of the Year Award, and was shortlisted for the Margaret Laurence Award for Fiction, and What You Get At Home (Turnstone Press, 2012) won the High Plains Award for Short Stories. Dueck’s novella, Mask, was also the winning entry for the 2014 Malahat Review novella contest. Dora grew up in a Mennonite community in Alberta, lived many years in Winnipeg, but currently makes her home in British Columbia.

With profound care, Croll breaks open the quiet conversations happening across the nation about dementia by bringing readers to her father’s bedside to witness his final years, months, hours, and the days that follow. Tender and aching, Croll’s verse confronts the imperfect, heart-rending act of remembering the moments, and ghosts, that linger. Su Croll Su Croll’s work has garnered numerous awards and nominations, including the Kalamalka New Writers Competition, Gerald Lampert Award, Stephan G. Stephansson Award as well as the Canadian Authors Association Poetry Award. Cold Metal Stairs is her third work of poetry. She lives and writes in Edmonton.

But all of that changes when he meets Oata Needarp.

  • Reception D Study

    Reception D Study

    Reception d Study Harry Loewen University of Winnipeg For all the skills they have shown for centuries in the practical arts, Mennonites have failed to develop among themselves an appreciation for the literary arts and even less for literary artists.' This is not to say that Mennonites did not read books. As Jacob H. Janzen wrote with affection- ate irony some forty years ago: "They [Mennonites] liked to have good books. They bought Menno Simons' writings and laid them away to become dust covered on the corner ~helf."~Not only did Mennonites in Russia know the writings of Menno Simons; they also read other works written by non-Mennonites, even works of fiction, especially those which appealed to their sense of religious piety and practical concerns. Works like Jung-Stilling's Das Heimweh were not only appreciated by nineteenth-century Russian Mennonites, but were occasionally taken in a literal sense which could result in strange historical consequence^.^ During the nineteenth century Russian Mennonites did produce a few poets who achieved respect and popularity among the practically- minded Mennonites. The most outstanding among these was Bernhard Harder (1832-84) of the Molotschnaya who as preacher, teacher and poet spoke and sang his evangelical concerns into the hearts and minds of his people. Harder deserves his rightful place among the emerging Men- nonite writers, but as a poet he saw himself more in a didactic and moralizing role than as an artist. The Mennonite literary artist was unknown among the nineteenth-century Russian Mennonites.* It has been suggested that Mennonite literature not only grew out of the Russian-Mennonite tradition, but that in its appeal to Mennonite readers it was in part successful because there was a community which accepted this literature, however rel~ctantly.~This is no doubt true with regard to the kind of literature which was largely didactic and pietistic in Journal of Mennonite Studies Vol.

    Literature: Mennonite Studies Engages the Mennonite Literary Voice

    Critical Thought and Mennonite Literature: Mennonite Studies Engages the Mennonite Literary Voice Nildi Froese Tiessen, Conrad Grebel University College This paper was given its initial generic title - "Critical Thought and Mennonite Literature9'- when Royden Loewen invited me to participate in this symposium, "Mennonites and the Challenge of Multiculturalism: A 25 Year Retrospective," months ago.U1I rather like the implied conflation of critical thinking and literature that such a title suggests, especially when we consider "literature" as we find it among Mennonites, where the "critical thinking" of creative writers has not always been welcome. I recall, in this context, the fact that when my colleague Jim Reimer, a few years ago, developed a new course on twentieth century Mennonite theology at Conrad Grebel University College in Waterloo, Ontario, he unselfconsciously named the course "Contemporary Mennonite Thought," as if to claim all serious Mennonite thinking for theology alone. Indeed, there was a time when any Mennonite critical thinking that attracted serious attention, within the community or without, did originate in conventionally masculinist disciplines like theology, for example, or 238 Jo~trnalof Mennonite Studies history. Well, thanks to such forces as the literature courses offered by the Chair of Mennonite Studies and publications focussing on Mennonite literature published in the Jounzal of Mennonite Studies, Canadian Mennonites, over the past twenty years or so, have devoted a great deal of attention to the critical - and imaginative - thinking of Mennonite creative writers, whose voices are now possibly more widely listened to than those of any other thinkers to whom the Mennonite community might lay claim.
