Happy Book Birthday to The Fall-Down Effect by @lizjohnston.bsky.social! Exploring protest, climate change & fractured family relationships, this stellar debut work of climate fiction asks what we really owe people in our lives when we're fighting for a greater cause. bookhugpress.ca/shop/books/f...
my usual sportsbar corner, with the latest issue of Grain, and new titles by Serena Chopra, Therese Estacion, Edie Reaney Chunn, etc // @bookhugpress.bsky.social @graywolfpress.bsky.social
Day 9 is Bahar Orang’s thought provoking debut, Where Things Touch: A Meditation On Beauty. This one should be read slowly in one long sitting, letting the words and thoughts wash over you in a wave. Then, read again in bits and pieces, while taking notes in the margin.❤️ @bookhugpress.bsky.social
Thank you!
"She likes you with wet feet, with webbed feet, clart between
your toes."

"If Diane Seuss’s sonnet form is a ‘barbed wire dress’, as one critic described it, LoveGrove’s sonnet form is an online dating profile.” Chris Banks on the newly-released collection, The Tinder Sonnets, by @jenniferlovegrove.bsky.social for @the-wood-lot.bsky.social. the-wood-lot.ca/2026/04/02/w...

Day 3 of National Poetry Month is Kate Cayley’s Lent. Kate came up to Wordstock a couple of years ago, and it was great to hear her read her work. I love this collection and it was hard to choose just three favourite poems…

A white hand holds a beige book with a drawing of what looks like a railway going into a circus tent. The title and author are in a handwriting script. The book is The Disappearing Act by Maria Stepanova (translated by Sash Dugdale).
Just started The Disappearing Act by Maria Stepanova about a writer in exile and so far, am enjoying it! #booksky @bookhugpress.bsky.social
