Suspended Animation: A Tribute to Louis Dudek
Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood Publishing is proud to announce that a work over twenty years in the making is coming to fruition. When Louis Dudek, the great poet and mentor to a generation of Montréal poets, including Leonard Cohen and Peter van Toorn, died on March 23rd, 2001 an era in Canadian poetry ended. Peter van Toorn resolved to publish a tribute book, and put out a call for articles and poems from the writers who had been influenced by Dudek. For various reasons, Peter was unable to finish the book and bring it to publication. Towards the end of his life, Peter met repeatedly with me, Patrick R. Burger, a colleague from John Abbott College, to discuss how to finally bring the book to publication. I was honoured that he entrusted me with this task. At this point, Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood Publishing is reaching out to the original authors, a veritable who's who of Canadian poetry, including Robyn Sarah, Richard Sommer, John Robert Colombo, Henry Beissel, Steve Luxton, Gary Geddes, Peter O'Brien, Tony Tremblay, Seymour Mayne, and Lionel Tiger. The rights have been secured to use famed Montréal photographer Gabor Szilasi's "Frites Dorées" photo as the cover. Stay tuned for more exciting developments!

On the Precipice of Fascism:
The Mythic and the Political in the Works of Robert E. Howard and Ernst Jünger
In this ground-breaking, trilingual work — designed primarily to ensure access by English-speaking readers — concepts such as Northrop Frye’s Archetypal Criticism, Umberto Eco’s semiotics, Fredric Jameson’s Political Unconscious, Michel Foucault’s misunderstood ‘death of the author’, national and international meta-narratives, and mass consciousness phenomena such as cultures of defeat are discussed through a foregrounding of the works of Robert E. Howard and Ernst Jünger to create a compelling and comprehensive picture not only of the twentieth century itself, but of the key role narrative plays in the scripting of human destiny.
