Highlights from the CBC, Q&Q and 49th Shelf fall previews

A variety of publications with literary bents have recently released fall previews – lists of forthcoming books from Canadian publishers that intrigue and excite them. A few Talon titles have showed up in these lists, in good company!

CBC Books looks forward to ten forthcoming poetry titles — including Fred Wah’s collected early poems and Rahat Kurd’s debut collection — in its Fall 2015 Book Preview: Poetry.

The 49th Shelf, a most thorough CanLit companion website, has included no fewer than six Talon titles in its list of Most Anticipated Fall 2015 Poetry, including Del Bucchia and Zomparelli’s Rom Com, Morse’s Prairie Harbour, Wah’s Scree, Kurd’s Cosmophilia, Fitzgerald’s Impeccable Regret, and Webb’s Peacock Blue (softcover edition).

Quill and Quire, Canada’s magazine of the publishing industry, highlights George Bowering in its Fall 2015 Fiction Preview, as well as Fred Wah (page 3).
