Vehicule Press Whispering City
Blackmail and murder in Old Quebec!Quebec City crime reporter Mary Roberts is about to leave her desk for the day when she receives word that a woman has been struck down in the centre of town. The victim is Renée Brancourt. A former pin-up, she'd once been a big star, treading the boards at the Coméie-Française, until her lover, Robert Marchand, plunged over Montmorency Falls. René e's inability to accept his death led her to be institutionalized. Now on her deathbed at the Hôtel-Dieu Hospital, the faded vedette tells Mary that Robert's death was no accident.

This is poetry as diary and seismograph, an infinite scroll for the end of days. It is a debut like no other.

Vehicule Press Quicker Than The Eye
In his third collection of verse, Quicker Than The Eye, Joe Fiorito continues to craft short, sharp poems that define the harder edges of urban life. His principal tools are a photographer's eye for detail, and a musician's ear for the sound of the human voice. Now, in Quicker Than The Eye, Canada's poet of the streets turns his gaze inward, writing about the influences of early love, family tragedy, and the search for meaning in a world where the desolate things are mine. A master of spare, razor-sharp language, Fiorito manages to strip sentiment from memory in order to find tenderness and enduring truth on the margins of the city. He has never written more austerely or more beautifully.
