Proust's In Search of Lost Time, Volume VI, Time Regained & Off-Leash by Dorothy Mahoney (@palimpsestpress.bsky.social)
A photo of Hollay Ghadery with an inset photo of her book The Unravelling of Ou. She is a woman with dark hair and bangs. She is smiling while a grey sock puppet with yellow yarn hair is being pressed against her cheek. She wears turquoise drop earrings and a black off-the-shoulder top.
We interviewed Hollay Ghadery about her novel THE UNRAVELLING OF OU (@palimpsestpress.bsky.social), a coming-of-age story about an Iranian-Canadian woman filtered through an unforgettable sock puppet. The book explores exile, queerness, & motherhood in beautiful prose.

If I could see Cora now
I’d see the winding sky has shrunk her,
but we would watch the damp
vectors of mountains.

“I can’t remember exactly when or how, but one day a sweet and slightly squeaky-voiced sock puppet meandered into my head and didn’t leave. And didn’t shut up.”
Thank you to Open Book for this interview with me about my novel, The Unravelling of Ou (Palimpsest Press).

How does the real interact.
Perception leaves a skeleton.
Abandonment witnesses ruins,
stagnant plastic private strangeness.
Charged with the flood, random
interior exile followed.

Poetry collection Ghost Work by Robert Colman (Palimpsest Press), with its striking black and white cover, rests atop a snowy bit of pavement
Handwritten transcription of the poem "Invitation To The End" by Robert Colman, from the poetry collection Ghost Work - notebook sits on a black and gray carpet, with an uncapped black pen resting on the page and a bright red bookmark ribbon visible
"We'll be able
to forget most everything. Our doubt
will be nameless. We'll do as little with our fear."

Lovely to see! @palimpsestpress.bsky.social
The cover of LONG EXPOSURE features the author's name in capitalized sans serif white text along the top, and the title in the same font, bolded, right aligned in the bottom right corner. The cover image is of a corner of a decrepit, abandoned home. In this graphic, cover of the book has been superimposed on top of a long exposure photo that matches the colour tones of the cover image.
"LONG EXPOSURE” is a book-length poem that fluidly reflects on tragedy, depictions of thoughts & feelings, & uncomfortable spaces between self and other.
