Rosemary Sullivan’s cats came to her—terrified—after surviving a house fire. “It was a lot to take in: the fire, separation from their mother, the strange and menacing humans towering over them,” writes Sullivan. “But at least they had each other.” thewalrus.ca/im-a-childless-cat-lady
On the left: a black and white illustration of a black cat and a grey cat cuddling. On the right: text that reads “The story of my cats who survived a fire. Negrito and Ensueño’s mother sacrificed herself for them. It led to a lifetime with me”

Book covers for 1. The Lost Haida Manga by Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, Douglas & McIntyre: From celebrated Haida artist Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas comes a striking new collection tracing the origins and evolution of Haida Manga—a bold visual genre that blends North Pacific Indigenous iconography and framelines with the dynamic energy of graphic storytelling. https://douglas-mcintyre.com/products/9781771624671 and 2.  Save Your Prayers – Send Money by Jónína Kirton, Talonbooks: Boldly takes on the wellness industry. Kirton delves into disability politics through the lived experience of a seventy-year-old Métis woman and recovering New Ager. A hybrid collection that moves fluidly between prose and poetry, Save Your Prayers – Send Money weaves intergenerational trauma and its impact on health through the daily realities of chronic pain and illness. These poems explore where healing might lie and how a peace might be found whether we heal or not. The weft supporting them all is the importance of belonging, of blood memory and cellular memory reaching back to our earliest Ancestors. https://talonbooks.com/books/save-your-prayers-send-money
