 A Few Words Will Do
Lionel Kearns
When a person writes "this is what happened, this is what I remember, this is what I saw, this is what I know," any reader stands in for and thereby becomes the absent "I" or "eye" of that written text. The deconstruction of this process of language, metaphor, is what preoccupies Lionel Kearns in A Few Words Will Do. Softcover, 128 pp. $16.95.
 Studies In Motion
Kevin Kerr
Photographer Eadweard Muybridge's life was filled with the events of Victorian melodrama: adultery, jealousy, betrayal, murder, and an abandoned child. Tried for the murder of his wife's loverm he was acquitted on the grounds of justifiable homicide. However, these events, which predate his subsequent obsession with stopping time and freezing motion, become the ghosts that haunt Muybridge in the fictional world of Governor General's Award winning dramatist Kevin Kerr's new play, Studies in Motion. Softcover, 142 pp. $18.95.
 Unity (1918)
Kevin Kerr

as they attempt to find a scapegoat for the crisis. M-3, F-6 128 pp. $16.95.
 Miracle Mother
Deborah Kimmett
What happens when a professional woman finds out she's pregnant and delivers a little

entire birth experience, especially as reflected in the mother-daughter relationship.

 Bathory
Moynan King
King's hit play blends gothic wonder with black humour to create

with power, female sexuality, and the lure of magic. F-4. 80 pp. $16.95.
