Book cover for The Road Back by Natalia Treviño (Arte Público Press): Two years for two thousand dollars. That’s the agreement Berta made with the wealthy Thompson family in San Antonio. That amount of money would change everything for herself and her toddler Josefina, whom she left under the care of Amá and Apá in rural Lagos de Aves, south of the border. But life as a domestic worker is not easy; la Señora is demanding, mercurial and manipulative, and without legal documentation, there’s nothing Berta can do about her employer’s decision to withhold payments until her commitment is fulfilled. Her existence in the Thompson household grows more precarious through a budding relationship with la Señora’s rebellious teenage son. When she discovers their connection and threatens to send Berta away with nothing, Berta packs her bags– taking not the money she has earned but a trampled and steady dream. Together, the young couple heads to California where they both find work, Aaron in a small tire shop and Berta in the fields of the Coachella Valley. https://artepublicopress.com/product/the-road-back/
Book cover for The Lost Century by Larissa Lai (Arsenal Pulp): Lambda Literary Award winner Larissa Lai (The Tiger Flu) returns with a sprawling historical novel about war, colonialism, love, and loyalty during Japan's occupation of Hong Kong in World War II. Emily's marriage - three times - to her father's mortal enemy causes a stir among three very different Hong Kong Chinese families, as well as among the young cricketers at the Hong Kong Cricket Club, who've just witnessed King Edward VIII's abdication to marry Wallis Simpson. But the bickering around the scandal of Emily's marriage is violently disrupted by the Japanese Imperial Army's invasion of Hong Kong on Christmas Day, 1941, which plunges the colony into a landscape of violence none of its inhabitants escape from unscathed. https://arsenalpulp.com/Books/T/The-Lost-Century

Book cover for The Wanderers by Mphuthumi Ntabeni (Catalyst Press): Ruru’s father, a South African freedom fighter, was exiled to Tanzania before she was born, leaving Ruru and her mother to fend for themselves in the township they called home. So when a fatal bus accident claims her mother’s life, Ruru is adrift. Haunted by her mother’s absence, another loss sits heavy on Ruru’s heart: that of her father, who never returned to the family, or country, he claimed to love. When she learns of his passing, Ruru grieves for the man she never knew, and the answers she would never find. She seeks solace in Tanzania, where she strikes up an unlikely friendship with her father’s widow. https://www.catalystpress.org/all-content/the-wanderers
Book cover for Wrecks by Erin L. McCoy (Noemi Press): Wrecks is a collection of poems inspired by the great auk, a flightless seabird driven to extinction in the mid-1800s. The last two known members of the species were killed on Eldey Island, Iceland, in 1844. The auk was repeatedly described by those who killed the bird as making human-like gestures and sounds, including sighs. Wrecks investigates how the human–nonhuman binary and the dehumanization it enables makes space for violence—against animals and the environment, but also against other humans. It explores the colonial systems that drive extinction, and the hierarchical structure by which hegemonic powers decide what is—and what is not—human. It engages the author’s experience of dehumanization as an atheist growing up in the conservative South; it also interrogates her complicity in systems of structural racism, and her inheritance as the descendant of colonizers. https://www.noemipress.org/catalog/poetry/wrecks/

Book cover for The National Telepathy by Roque Larraquy, translated by Frank Wynne (Charco Press): In September 1933, the Peruvian Rubber Company delivers nineteen indigenous people from the Amazon to businessman Amado Dam, intended for Argentina's first Ethnographic Theme Park. Unexpected among the human cargo is an artefact harbouring a sloth with a fascinating yet terrifying secret: the ability to create erotically explosive telepathic connections between people. What ensues is a raucous satire of men’s fear of women’s bodies, of the illusion of logic in the structures of so-called civilisation, and the way class and race obscure identities when the observer is a man with power. https://charcopress.com/bookstore/the-national-telepathy
Book cover for That Gun in Your Hand: The Strange Saga of ‘Hey Joe’ and Popular Music’s History of Violence by Jason Schneider (Anvil Press): This is the story of a song. Yet, it is a song that binds nearly every strand of 20th-century American popular music. https://www.anvilpress.com/books/that-gun-in-your-hand-the-strange-saga-of-hey-joe-and-popular-musics-history-of-violence

Book cover for Precedented Parroting by Barbara Tran (Palimpsest Press): Opening with an exit, the poems in Precedented Parroting accept no assumptions. With the determination and curiosity of a problem-solving crow, this expansive debut plumbs personal archives and traverses the natural world, endeavouring to shake the tight cage of stereotypes, Asian and avian. 2024 GG finalist in poetry. https://palimpsestpress.ca/books/precedented-parroting-barbara-tran/
Book cover for Saints Rest by Luke Francis Beirne (Baraka Books): Malory Fleet’s son was killed by bikers and now she’s worried about his missing girlfriend, Amanda. But that case was closed shut by the police a year ago and Frank Cain, the private investigator she’s hired, is reluctant to take it on. On the sometimes seedy streets of uptown Saint John, no one wants to talk, even fewer have anything to say, and the police have cast a blanket of fog over everything. As Frank searches fruitlessly for clues, he learns more about Malory than about Amanda, and begins to grow wary. Throughout, Detective Stuart Boucher is following Frank and making little effort to hide it, leading Cain to conclude that the officer may have more to do with the case than he’s letting on. For Frank Cain, as unmoored as a lost ship in the harbour, in unravelling this case he risks unravelling himself. https://www.barakabooks.com/catalogue/saints-rest/

Poetry by the author of Navigating the Reach (Salmon Poetry, Honors, 2024 Massachusetts Book Award). https://lilypoetryreview.blog/lily-poetry-review-press/there-is-only-the-sacred-and-the-desecrated-by-mary-buchinger/

Book cover for Paper Girls Burn: A Borderline Personality Disorder Memoir by Pippa Scott (Caitlin Press): From a young age, Pippa Scott was made to feel damaged for simply being different.
