Chainsaws in the Cathedral gathers together the finest of Peter Trower's poems about the friendships and dangers of the West Coast logging life. The poems reveal Trower's marvellous tonal range, his ear attuned to the rhythms of the flesh and the wilderness.

Winner of the Canadian Authors Association Jack Chalmers Poetry Award (2005) "It's high time [Trower] was recognized more widely as the gifted and versatile force in Canadian poetry that he is. If this fine selection can't garner such recognition, it's hard to imagine what will." -Zach Wells, The Danforth Review

Hitting the Bricks is a hymn of praise to the other Vancouver, that of back alleys and midnight streets. They are the poems of a man who walks avenues in the dark, his ear attuned to an inner jazz and the things that go bop in the night.

Scheyder, wife of a pastor and mother of five, offers a light look at life and ministry in this book, which is illustrated by her teenage son, Jacob. (Practical Life)

Poignant and personal but never sentimental, the poems in A Ship Called Destiny tell the story of a life-long romance. In these poems Trower realizes the "soul's completion," finding at last a pervading sense of unity in love.
