On 6 May 2015, Ben McNally Books hosted the launch of Trio, by Sarah Tolmie, and Tablature, by Bruce Whiteman, both published in the Hugh MacLennan Poetry Series by McGill-Queen’s University Press.
“Trio is a collection of 120 sonnets that reveals, frame by frame, a married fortysomething female narrator in love with two younger men—an intellectual and a dancer—and torn between the claims of body and mind.” (mqup.ca)
“Tablature … is by turns learned and allusive, and emotionally expressive and despairing. These poems engage three large and powerful subjects: the landscapes we see and abide in, music that is comforting and a guide to hearing the poem's compulsions, and love—erotic, domestic, and enduring.” (mqup.ca)
