BLOODY HARVEST
The killing of Falun Gong for their organs
David Matas and David Kilgour

Kilgour and Matas Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

There have been allegations that Falun Gong prisoners in China who refused to recant after torture, and who have "disappeared" by the thousands, have been killed in order to supply human organs for organ transplant services offered to foreigners.

By means of intensive research and interviews, the authors have developed a persuasive argument that supports those allegations. The book is an updated version of the final report (released January 2007 and translated into 19 languages) commissioned by the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of the Falun Gong.

It contains new material and interviews, and is in two parts. The first section sets out the evidence; the second section details the reactions the final report received and the advocacy Matas and Kilgour undertook to end the abuse that they conclusively identified.

Confluences
Allan Briesmaster

Flowing from multiple streams, the poems in Confluences are Allan Briesmaster’s most wide-ranging and artistically adventurous work yet. The first of the book’s four contrasting parts gives poetic reflections on what has come down to us from ancient times, including the insights of pre-Socratic philosophers such as Thales and Heraclitus.

The second, “Impress of Waters,” features diverse encounters with the Canadian eco-scape; while in the third section, a fierce intelligence takes a stern view of climate change and other matters ranging from the anatomy of human emotion to the first moon landing 40 years after.

In the final section, the creations of eminent writers like Rilke, Alberti, Bonnefoy, and Jaccottet are confronted and drawn from: in a variety of adaptations and homages treating such familiar subjects as friendship, love, and aging in unconventional ways. All of the poems are distinguished by sensuously layered language, virtuosity in form and style, and a questing spirit, both passionate and philosophical.
