Single mama Maha and her two kids, are, yes, again, facing eviction. We have 18 HOURS. The most amazing thing you can do is click "monthly" on spare change. Just one predictable thing, steady shelter, in their lives. 358/815 chuffed.org/project/savi...

Daily(ish) #SmallPress #books: All the Lands We Inherit by @darbyprice.bsky.social (@blacklawrence.bsky.social) & Several Small Animals Enclosed in a Benedictine Monastery by @hadzicvera.bsky.social (@anvilpress.bsky.social). See alt-text! #DSPBposts 💙📚 #BookSky #BooksWorthReading #bookish

Book cover for All the Lands We Inherit by Darby Price (Black Lawrence Press): A searing, heartbreaking, and formally inventive debut memoir about family, legacy, and identity. The story centers around the increasingly tense relationship between the author and her mother, a deeply religious woman who has become self-isolated and recalcitrant amidst her many crises: failing health, financial woes, and the accumulated effects of long-untreated traumas. https://blacklawrencepress.com/books/all-the-lands-we-inherit/

Book cover for Several Small Animals Enclosed in a Benedictine Monastery by Vera Hadzic (Anvil Press): In this debut collection, Ontario poet Vera Hadzic explores themes of anxiety, eating, excretion, compulsion, and change. Several Small Animals Enclosed in a Benedictine Monastery follows the construction and deconstruction of the body, both human and animal. https://www.anvilpress.com/books/several-small-animals-enclosed-in-a-benedictine-monastery
