Against a backdrop of cedar, a hand holds up Uiesh / Somewhere by Joséphine Bacon, translated by Jessica Moore. A big sticker is above the mid line to the right declaring it to be a GGBooks Winner. The cover is of a painted treescape reflecting into water, but the reflection is a city. Across the top it reads "Uiesh / Somewhere. Poems." Across the middle it reads Dual-Language Edition in Innu-aimun and English. Across the bottom it reads "Joséphine Bacon. Translated from the French by Jessica Moore."

Pictured here: Uiesh / Somewhere by Joséphine Bacon and translated by Jessica Moore looking so snazzy wearing its new #GGBooks sticker! 🤩⁠
