Daily(ish) #SmallPress #books - from #NovaScotia publishers: Closing Act (by @chriswkim.bsky.social, @conundrumpress.bsky.social) & Interstitial (by @leesadean.bsky.social, @gaspereaupress.bsky.social). See alt-text. #DSPBposts #NSarts #bookish 💙📚 #BookSky #booktok #booksta #bookstagram #booklovers
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/

Daily(ish) #SmallPress #books: Human Story will not Consume the Cosmos (by Alexander Hollenberg, @gaspereaupress.bsky.social) & Muin and the Seven Bird Hunters (by Lilian Marshall, Murdena Marshall & Prune Harris, @nimbuspub.bsky.social). See alt-text. #DSPBposts 💙📚 #NSarts #BookSky #bookstagram
Book cover for Human Story will not Consume the Cosmos by Alexander Hollenberg (Gaspereau Press): Hollenberg explores the way in which poetry straddles the divide between the meaning-making impulse of the constructed human world and the wilder, wily resistance of the seemingly vulnerable non-human world. Plainspoken, alert, Hollenberg’s poems work recursively, repurposing words, images and motifs in new contexts in order to celebrate the richness and risks of storytelling. https://gaspereaupress.com/books/human-story-will-not-consume-the-cosmos/Book cover for Muin and the Seven Bird Hunters by Lilian Marshall, Murdena Marshall, and Prune Harris (Nimbus Publishing): The story of Muin and the Seven Bird Hunters is a very old Mi’kmaw legend. It happens in the North Sky as the stars that show the story of Muin and the Seven Bird Hunters move around Tatapn, the North Star. In pictures in this book you can see how these stars, shown as they appear two hours before dawn, move through the night sky. They are in a different position each of the seasons because they are the time-keepers, the calendar. All through the year, as the stars and plants travel through the sky, the Mi’kmaq watch the story of Muin and the Seven Bird Hunters as it unfolds before their eyes. https://nimbus.ca/store/muin-and-the-seven-bird-hunters.html
