Book cover for There Is Only the Sacred and the Desecrated by Mary Buchinger (Lily Poetry Review): Paul Nemser Book Prize, Honorable Mention. “A Book of Hours chronicling moments that mesh the physical with the spiritual. . . She penetrates the growth of a tree in good years and hard years by reading the formation of its rings as readily as she reaches into the life of Francis of Assisi, illuminating his understanding of the sacred, his ailments, and his love for and ministering to animals as well as people.”- Jennifer Barber. 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. A highly sensitive child prone to emotional outbursts, she was sent away to a rigid British boarding school. Instead of taming her, the experience of abandonment and isolation intensified her longing for acceptance and comfort. Set amidst the changing eras from the 1980s to the 21st century, Paper Girls Burn is a courageous, candid, and darkly comic memoir about the search for love, understanding, and identity through a neurodivergent lens. https://caitlinpress.com/Books/P/Paper-Girls-Burn

And now, the secret she’s kept for decades is about to resurface – and it could destroy everything. A stirring, impactful novel about motherhood, finding meaning for yourself and fighting for the people that you love. https://canongate.co.uk/books/5178-grace/

Book cover for Creating in Dangerous Times by Celeste Nazeli Snowber (HARP): Creating in Dangerous Times is a universal invitation to reclaim our human birthright of creativity. Each poem serves as a timely incantation—one might even say a ”prescription”—for creative malaise. Designed to stir the memory of our shared humanity, Snowber explores themes of presence and the healing arts, gently nudging us all the while to reawaken, reflect upon, and reconnect with our latent creativity. A beautiful and necessary guide and a deeply empathetic approach to healing and reconciling ourselves, one another, and the planet. https://tryhealingarts.ca/product/creating-in-dangerous-times/

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
