"WEAVE is quite simply a masterpiece"- GEIST

 

Weave (poems) - Frontenac House, 2004

"Weave is quite simply a masterpiece; there is more in these 80 odd pages than in most novels." - Stephen Osborne, Geist Magazine

 

WEAVE is my first book, a biography-style collection of poetry that was nominated for an Alberta Book Prize. I didn't win, but I was really excited to be in the running. And the prize-giving party at the Hotel Macdonald in Edmonton was very swank indeed.

 

"Pasold's ability to capture the personal, the political and societal expectations of an era is impressive." - Rajinder S. Pal, This Magazine

"The book fascinates on both narrative and lyric levels. Pasold never confuses feeling with sentiment, and she has a gift for memorable images which work together to form a poetic vocabulary. This book's a keeper, one you'll reread and read aloud." - Harry Vandervlist, Alberta Views

upcoming book: any bright horse (April 2012)

I'm making the final edits to any bright horse, the poetry manuscript that's coming out this spring. Very stressful & exciting or, in other words, Frontenac editor Rose Scollard spends much of her time talking me off the ledge...

Rats of Las Vegas

"Pasold weaves together themes of love, chance, magic and fortune to create a compelling coming-of-age story. Rats is charming, original, and rich in historical detail [and] Millard is an exceptionally refreshing heroine." - The Winnipeg Free Press
