Precedence
by Pujita Verma
Grounded in a recent legal case that crosses borders, Precedence offers an intimate and stunningly poised insight into a young woman’s experience leaving home and facing her father in a Canadian courtroom. What precedents, Verma asks—legal, personal, cultural—do we rewrite for ourselves and others each time we act? What does it look like to know romantic love, and come of age, after coming forward?
My Great-Grandfather Danced Ballet
by Misha Solomon
My Great-Grandfather Danced Ballet is a daring, erotic, and humorous exploration of queer longing and Jewish possibility at the turn of two centuries. In a captivating series of narrative poems, Misha Solomon entwines an alternate memoir of his great-grandfather in pre-Holocaust Romania with a contemporary gay life in Montreal. Solomon sets a new and powerful precedent for speculative poetic histories, allowing intimacy to find a way through memories real, imagined, and desired.
Spruce to Cedar
by Lasänmą
Set in the Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Vancouver, Lasänmą’s debut poetry collection takes the reader from her childhood into adulthood by sharing both warm and harrowing memories as they shaped her. Using English, Southern Tutchone, and Dene, the fragile but courageous speaker yearns for the comforts of childhood, yet at the same time looks squarely both at the difficulties of the past and the possibilities of the future. Unashamed, she bares it all.
Nowhere is Safe in Gaza
by Feisal G. Mohamed
A powerful erasure of South Africa’s application to the International Court of Justice charging Israel with violations of the Genocide Convention. In Nowhere is Safe in Gaza, Feisal G. Mohamed distills and amplifies the human experience at the heart of this legal text, highlighting the plight of Palestinians on the ground and the openly stated intentions of Israeli officials. The language of bureaucracy fades into the background, allowing Palestinian voices to hit us with their full expressive force.
MADNESS BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE
by Jody Chan
With gentle fervour and precise language that speaks to the nonverbal, the gestural, the sonic, Jody Chan’s third collection of poetry mobilizes the intimate, the historical, the revolutionary, and the mundane to confront the instrumentalization of disability as a surplus class. Chan’s poems are a lyrical account of anti-colonial, anti-capitalist psychiatric survivor- and patient-led movements, from Germany to Japan. This is an investigation of madness as resistance, in which we experience “listening as a form of touch,” and the future as a change of form.
Skin
by Tyler Pennock
Conceived in the same world as Pennock’s first two books of poetry Bones (Brick Books, 2020) and Blood (Brick Books, 2022), Skin is the final book in a trilogy, and exists in conversation with the previous works. Skin is a haunting, genre-blurring collection rooted in Treaty 8 territory, where memory, place, and loss intertwine. Through lyrical, found, and experimental forms, Pennock excavates what—and who—is remembered, grieved, and built upon in the violent memoryscapes of the prairies. Haunting here is methodology: ghosts are kin, time loops, and memory scratches at the walls.
Lightning in Our Roots
by Avis Blackbird
In Lightning in Our Roots, Avis Blackbird invites the reader on a journey to feel Indigenous fluidity of space and time, the impact of colonization, enduring connections to the land and, finally, the rising hope of Indigenous communities and cultures to thrive. Underlying this collection is a timeless expression of ancestors’ voices as they transmit stories and witness truths for future generations.
