You are about to read a book like no other. Bloody Jack is a collection about the making and unmaking of story, of poetry and of history. Based loosely on the life of John Krafchenko, a notorious Manitoban outlaw, the poems of Bloody Jack turn fact and fiction upside down and inside out. Dennis Cooley has added more than a dozen new poems to this revised edition and Douglas Barbour has written an introduction. By turns earthy and earnest, soulful and sly, Bloody Jack is a rollicking, fun-filled riot of a volume by one of Canada's favourite poets. "Bloody Jack is back again, bigger, bolder, sweeter and even more outrageous." -David ArnasonIntroduction by Douglas Barbour.

"Rowdy and raunchy, tender and beseeching, philosophic and colloquial, inviting and dangerous-Bloody Jack is packed full of everything. And then for good measure Dennis Cooley adds a knowledge of poetic forms that is equally a catalogue of surprises and revelations. The poem as love lyric. The poem as murder mystery. The poem as treasure-trove. Bloody Jack makes you, in all kinds of wonderful ways, catch your breath." -Robert Kroetsch
