  • Fall 2015 After Light 2 … New Title / Fiction Catherine Hunter
    fall 2015 After Light 2 … New Title / Fiction Catherine Hunter After Light is the sumptuously rendered tale of four generations of the Garrison family, whose story begins when young Deirdre flees Ireland in 1920, seeking a better life in Brooklyn. The secrets she carries with her will shape the fates not only of Deirdre, but all who come after her. Her son Frank, a promising young artist, is blinded in WW2 and forced to create a whole new life for himself. He marries and settles in Canada, where his wife raises hothouse roses on the frozen prairie. But the war has shaken him deeply, and his two daughters, Von and Rosheen, live in terror of his violent outbursts. As the girls grow up, they grow apart. Rosheen, badly scarred by her childhood, takes refuge in her art and her pain medication. Von falls in love with a young man who cannot understand her sense of duty toward her troubled family. And then the family is torn apart by a shocking act of betrayal and an unbearable tragedy. In the aftermath, Rosheen moves to New York to live with Deirdre and begins the work that will one day make her name as an artist. But Von, too bitter to engage with the world, clings to home and refuses to care for anything except the roses in the greenhouse. When Rosheen dies and leaves behind an unfinished art project, based on family history and intended for an upcoming major show in New York, Von is forced out of seclusion. In her efforts to finish the project before the opening of the exhibit, Von travels to Ireland and Holland, completing Rosheen’s research and gathering her art works.

Martin, “often seeks poetic ‘fathers’ who in some sense offer a validation of Introduction his sexual nature. Whatever he may learn poetically from the great tradition, he cannot fail to notice that this tradition is, at least on the surface, almost exclusively heterosexual.”1 It is out of such a desire for affirmation, for exemplars and mentors, that the impulse to compile Seminal, the first historically comprehensive compendium of gay male poetry written by Canadians, first arose.

    2 … New Title / Non-fi ction Butter Cream A Year in a Montreal Pastry School DeniseWhat happens Roig when a 56-year-old fi ction writer decides to ditch it all and attend professional pastry chef school for a year? In writing that brings to mindAbout the thework Book of journalist/chef Michael Ruhlman, Butter Cream: A Year in a Montreal Pastry School tells the story of eleven months of whipping, spreading and creaming in the pursuit of perfection. When Denise Roig set out to do this – a lark, she thought – she had no idea what it would cost and what it would give back. Butter Cream is the chronicle of an intense year of learning and tasting, dramas at the stove and in the locker room. It’s about fi ghts, friendship and competition, fallen cakes and rising doughs. And sometimes, unexpectedly, the sheer joy of baking. It’s a memoir that also includes trips back to her mother’s and grandmother’s kitchens and to her own complicated relationship with all things sweet. I am the only one wearing the bloody uniform. Not only am I the oldest one here — judging from a quick scan of younger and way younger faces — but I look like a dork. A keener. And I know, since I’m usually teaching kids this age at this time of year, that there’s nothing less cool than a fi rst-day keener. I take the last available stool, shove my massive toolbox and bulging backpack under Non-fiction, CKB030000, BIO022000 the chrome counter, fumble for pen and paper.
