Book cover for The City Speaks in Drums by Shauntay Grant, ill. by Susan Tooke (Nimbus Publishing): Available for the first time in paperback, the award-winning The City Speaks in Drums follows two boys from North End Halifax as they explore their neighbourhood and the city beyond, finding music everywhere. At the skate park, by the Public Gardens, down Spring Garden Road, and on the boardwalk, drums and saxophones and dancers and basketballs create the jumbled, joyful, pulsing rhythm of Halifax. Shauntay Grant’s playful spoken word-style poem and Susan Tooke’s vivid illustrations create a wildly energetic and appealing journey through the big, bright city. https://nimbus.ca/store/the-city-speaks-in-drums-pb.html

Book cover for The Genocide Continues: Population Control and the Sterilization of Indigenous Women by Karen Stote (Fernwood Publishing): The coerced sterilization of Indigenous women in Canada is driven by a concern with who occupies land and how resources are distributed. https://fernwoodpublishing.ca/book/the-genocide-continues
Book cover for Routine Maintenance by Marco Melfi (Gaspereau Press): Whether they are drawing portraits (a cobbler, coach, superfan), probing social phenomena (soccer tryout, cell phone ringing in a basilica, tossing leaves at the eco station), or describing the unusual lives of commonplace objects (birthday balloon, faulty porch light, parking stall puddle), Melfi’s poems are propelled by incisive observation, muscular rhythm, and a terse entwining of images and ideas. https://gaspereaupress.com/books/routine-maintenance/

Book cover for Listen!: Knowing the World and Fighting to Change It by Scott Neigh (Fernwood Publishing): An examination of how listening shapes who we are, weaves the world and grounds our movements for justice and liberation. https://fernwoodpublishing.ca/book/listen
Book cover for Astrid, Aghast by Ian Roy (Gaspereau Press): The stories in Astrid, Aghast are by turns funny, poignant, magical, and humane. Two public-library workers fall in love with each other’s foibles while stuck in an elevator. A young boy stumbles upon a bucket of eels that stirs up family memories he’d rather forget. A solitary entomologist tries to make sense of a life filled with pianos and beetles. Ian Roy takes us on journeys through a world that is like our own, but not quite: a taxi driver falls in love with his car-jacker; an old man claims he can fly—and can, or almost. https://gaspereaupress.com/books/astrid-aghast/

Book cover for Closing Act by Chris W. Kim (Conundrum Press): Lea walks her usual route through the city when a young man steals her bag. She chases him into an alley but quickly loses her bearings—each alley leads into yet another alley, the sounds of the city fade away, and the thief is nowhere to be seen. Hopelessly searching for an exit, she eventually encounters Dee, one of the alleyfolk who obsessively makes maps of his surroundings and is convinced that the alleys have been gradually narrowing over time. The more of these alleyfolk Lea gets to know, the more she sees that they agree: the labyrinth they inhabit is shifting, creating a state of deep uncertainty. When the presence of the thief becomes a subject of contention, Lea finds herself entangled in the affairs of a world fated to end soon. https://conundrumpress.com/product/closing-act/
Book cover for Interstitial by Leesa Dean (Gaspereau Press): The poems in Interstitial probe the porous nature of existence, examining the ways in which the world, the body, and the self are all liminal spaces. Writing in the interstitial time between the deaths of her parents, and using an array of forms and registers, Leesa Dean turns a clear eye on the difficulties of family secrets, grief that is solitary and grief that is shared, lost languages, and violence, recovery, and resilience. These poems move from injury to reconciliation, demonstrating that we are strongest when we allow our shared narratives to weave us into a greater constellation than our individual lives afford. https://gaspereaupress.com/books/interstitial/

Book cover for Non-Prophet by Qurat Dar (Goose Lane Editions): Winner of the Claire Harris Poetry Prize. Raw, reverent, and bursting with searing vulnerability, Non-Prophet canvases the electric tension between devotion and doubt to gods both personal and ubiquitous, and reflects on the natural and built worlds in their claims to the sacred. Winner of the inaugural Claire Harris Poetry Prize, Qurat Dar’s bold debut collection explores what it is to grapple with faith that’s “just another language you’re losing, or one you never learned to speak.” Weaving through the boundaries of language and form, Non-Prophet meditates on things “just mundane enough to be holy / just holy enough to be mundane” — the death of a bird, the cries of mid-nightmare prayers, the misplaced shame of what it is to bleed. Dar’s poems both rage and reconcile, holding gently the pieces of a fractured identity. https://gooselane.com/products/non-prophet
Book cover for The Austens by Sarah Emsley (Pottersfield Press): With no money of her own and little hope of selling any of her unfinished manuscripts, Jane Austen accepts a marriage proposal from the heir to an estate in her beloved Hampshire, only to break her engagement the following day because she does not love him. She chooses to devote herself to writing fiction, even though she may always have to depend on her parents or brothers for money. When Fanny Palmer falls in love with Jane’s brother Charles Austen, a handsome captain in the Royal Navy, she sees herself as the heroine of a romantic story and chooses to accept his proposal of marriage even though he has very little money. She shares her husband’s desire for children and his confidence that he will soon increase his income by capturing naval prize ships, and she insists on travelling with him when the squadron sails to Nova Scotia, instead of staying at home in Bermuda. Exchanging letters across the Atlantic during the tumultuous years of the Napoleonic Wars, Jane and Fanny become close friends. Like Maggie O’Farrell’s Hamnet and Colm Tóibín’s The Master, The Austens explores tensions and rivalries between a great writer and the people closest to them. https://nimbus.ca/store/the-austens.html

Book cover for New-Fangled Rose by Sue Sinclair (Goose Lane Editions): Like a rose blooming out of season, the poems in Sue Sinclair’s newest collection are unexpected, unforgettably beautiful, and an unwavering gesture toward the slow emergency of climate crisis. With the lyrical brilliance and keen eye trained on beauty that’s characteristic of Sinclair, New-Fangled Rose reaches toward the light with reverent hands, photosynthesizing it into poems that are deft, musical, and unquestionably alive. These poems cast a wide gaze over a fragile world, offering vibrant elegies to luna moths and crab apples, fireflies and trilliums. They examine what it is to build relationships in a world that feels increasingly precarious, like at any moment, something may end; like at any moment, something may begin. https://gooselane.com/products/new-fangled-rose
Book cover for I Have a Love Story by Natalie MacMaster (MacIntyre Purcell Publishing): Natalie MacMaster has captivated audiences for decades with her masterful Celtic fiddling and electrifying performances. Winner of many music awards, Grammy nominee, and recipient of the Order of Canada, she has collaborated with a host of musical legends including the Boston Pops, The Chieftains, Alison Krauss, and Yo-Yo Ma. In I Have a Love Story, Natalie shares the remarkable journey from her humble roots on Cape Breton Island to the world’s most renowned stages. Brimming with heartfelt reflections on family, faith, culture, and music, I Have a Love Story is an uplifting memoir that inspires readers to cherish and nurture the love in their own lives. https://www.macintyrepurcell.com/product/i-have-a-love-story/

Book cover for Lawless: Abortion under Complete Decriminalization by Martha Paynter (Fernwood Publishing): Martha Paynter, nurse and scholar, explains how abortion is governed in Canada without an abortion law and why experts advocate against one. https://fernwoodpublishing.ca/book/lawless
Book cover for Bad Indians Book Club: Reading at the Edge of a Thousand Worlds by Patty Krawec (Goose Lane Editions): Anishinaabe writer Patty Krawec doesn’t want to be a “Good Indian.” When a friend asked what books could help them understand Indigenous lives, Patty Krawec gave them a list. This list then exploded into a book club, then into a podcast about a year of Indigenous reading, and then, ultimately, into this book. Drawing on conversations with readers and authors, Bad Indians Book Club delves into writing about history, science, and gender, and into memoirs and fiction, all by “Bad Indians” and those like them, whose refusal of the dominant narrative of the wemitigoozhiwag (European settlers) opens up new possibilities for identity and existence. Introducing each chapter with flash fiction about a shapeshifting Deer Woman, who is on her own journey to decide who she is, Krawec leads us into a place of wisdom and medicine where stories of and by marginalized writers help us imagine a thousand worlds waiting to be born. https://gooselane.com/products/bad-indians-book-club

Book cover for On Hammet Shore by Shelagh Meagher (Askance Publishing): Henry has loved Sybil, one way and another, for nearly as long as he’s loved Little Hammet, the place where they first met, his birthplace, the shore which forever draws him back. The island and the woman are the twin stars which, for better or for worse, have steered his life. But that life now has an end in sight. Not some messy, pain-racked end such as his sister suffered, not something to require his brother to clean up, but a graceful, carefully arranged cessation of life. An end of his own choosing at a time of his own choosing. But before that, there’s a life to be made sense of, arrangements must be made, plans to be be acted upon. https://askancepublishing.wordpress.com/on-hammet-shore/
Book cover for Cures for Hunger by Deni Ellis Béchard (Goose Lane Editions): Growing up in rural British Columbia, Deni Béchard worships his father, believing that he can do no wrong. Although his charismatic father is prone to racing trains and brawling, Deni has no idea how unusual his family is. But when Deni discovers his father's true identity (and his other life as a bank robber), his imagination is set on fire. Before long, he begins to see himself as a character in one of his father's stories. He can't escape the sense that his father's life holds the key to understanding his own passions, aversions, and motivations. At once an extraordinary family story and an unconventional portrait of the artist as a young man, Cures for Hunger is a singular, deeply affecting memoir by an acclaimed writer. Almost unbelievable. You'll swear it's fiction. https://gooselane.com/products/cures-for-hunger

Book cover for Immortal Air by Tracey Rombough (Cape Breton University Press): Bright and promising as a student, George Cameron was sent to live with his sister in Boston while he attended a prestigious Latin school and later the Boston School of Law. It was what his mother wanted for him and his brother, Charley. It was what any well-bred family would want for an intelligent son destined for greater things than his humble New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, upbringing. On his journey to find his voice among the great poets of the 19th century, George had to leave behind his first love, a muse who haunted his thoughts and fuelled his passion for poetry throughout his life. https://nimbus.ca/store/immortal-air.html
