A final note that Q&Q’s full Books of the Year package is now available online, as is our look back at the year in Canadian publishing news.
Thanks to everyone for reading this year, online or in print. Happy holidays to all, and best wishes for a fine 2009.
Inside: In the January/February issue of Q&Q, now on newsstands, we look back on the decade that was, highlighting the people, books, and events that defined the 2000s. Also in the issue, we look ahead at the season’s most anticipated books in our Spring Preview; visit with veteran publisher Kim McArthur as she attempts to reinvent McArthur & Company; and examine the secret nine-to-five lives of Canadian authors. All that, plus reviews of new books by Todd Babiak, Ruth Ohi, Ann Vanderhoof, Richard Scrimger, and more.

Guess there weren’t any poetry titles published this year, hey?
I’d put the following poetry books on the Q&Q list:
Jeremiah, Ohio by Adam Sol – it’s a must read!
A Well-Mannered Storm by Kate Braid – her best yet!
And
Love on the Marsh : A Long Poem, by Douglas Lochhead

It’s a sequel to his High Marsh Road, which was shortlisted for the Governor-General’s prize, and won the Carlo Betocchi prize.
