Book Description

Mission Statement: To rejuvenate and promote Montreal poetics in the new century.
Declaration de resolution: Rajeunir et promouvoir la poesie de Montreal dans le nouveau siecle.

SHOW THIEVES 2010 is Issue One of a bold literary intervention — a poetry anthology with the explicit mission of revitalizing and promoting Montreal's poetic culture in the twenty-first century. Bilingual in its vision and multilingual in its voices, this limited-edition collection gathers twenty-two of the city's most dynamic emerging and established poets into a single, combustible volume.

The roster reads like a who's-who of Montreal's literary underground: Amelie Abgral, Roxanna E. Bauer, Jay Alexander Brown, K. Gandhar Chakravarty, Christopher Clarke, Katherine Duhaime, Jesse Eckerlin, Jason Price Everett, Jason Freure, J. P. Karvatski, Robert Knight, Sabine Barbeau-Lawless, Charles Letellier, Emery Moreira, T. Noah J. Nazim, Geoffrey Alexander Parsons, David Riendeau, Bryan Sentes, George Slobodzian, Nora Rosenthal, Stacey Ross, Jon Thenes — and more. Cover photography by Jason Price Everett.

Limited to 888 copies, SHOW THIEVES 2010 is both a time capsule of a moment in Montreal literary history and a living document of a scene that continues to shape Canadian poetry. For collectors, scholars, and anyone who wants to know what Montreal sounded like at the turn of the century's second decade, this anthology is indispensable.
