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.

The cover of David Martin's NIGHTSTEAD against a sepia-toned abstract background

Read excerpts from award-winning poet David Martin’s latest collection, NIGHTSTEAD (@palimpsestpress.bsky.social). An elegy for his younger brother, Martin blends direct verse with childhood recollections to create an utterly unique and deeply personal poetic memoir.

How does the real interact.
Perception leaves a skeleton.

Abandonment witnesses ruins,
stagnant plastic private strangeness.

Charged with the flood, random
interior exile followed.

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.

LONG EXPOSURE (New Orleans, Room, 2005-2006)

He didn’t move the dress.
Polidori moved himself to make the dress
