Shades of Green
Winner for Poetry at PEI Book Awards 2010.
It has been said that there are more than twenty-three shades of green in a Prince Edward Island landscape. Brent MacLaine's newest collection of poetry registers these modulations of tone and hue with an intense visual sensibility. And whether emerging from the local landscapes of memory or the present-day streetscapes of Manhattan, these poems, at once personal and speculative, casual and formal, record the poet's attempt to seize the chromatic complexity of experience.

Wild Island
Winner for Non-Fiction at PEI Book Awards 2010.
Wild Island presents a picture of Prince Edward Island as Sylvester imagines it might have appeared before permanent settlement. This is not a guidebook to natural areas, but a portrait of the diversity and beauty of what remains.
