SUMMER 2025
this clingstone love, Laurie Koensgen
There is a silence in this clingstone love, a curled absence knotted with desire. It is “the still point/ of the turning world” around which love, and Laurie Koensgen’s vivid lines move — liminal, carnal, “and in a tremble/ recognised.”

Love’s Little Dojo, Jordan Williamson
Jordan Williamson’s chapbook curls up with “a deep swelling sympathy” for the lyrical rhythms in weather patterns, laundry, and brushed strands of hair. Domestic scenes fill with a nostalgic and wistful longing for that moment when we might fall in love with our very own lives.
SOLD OUT
DTES Watching, Pari Mokradi
A “gut punch clang” of raw and urgent detail blends with Hindu myth in ‘DTES Watching.’ A butane lighter, a shipping container, Maa Kali’s garland of skulls– all of it coalesces into a vigilant river, an underground reservoir of compassion and hope.

SOLD OUT
Salamander Street, a view of Leith in twenty-one haiku, James Roderick Burns

28 pp chapbook.
SOLD OUT
Pics or it didn’t happen, Lana Crossman
The gift of Lana Crossman’s poems is a resilient hope baked into its observational power. Like the oysters in the poem ‘Hypnagogia,’ it serves to “coax irritants into pearls.” It takes what is offered, and loves unconditionally with words and images that resonate despite the spectacular risk.
SOLD OUT
The Book of Names, Shane Neilson
24 pp chapbook, Canadian and US shipping included
Screen and sky, white petals and red blankets, a sob from upstairs. The Book of Names grapples with what it is to be human, and how we confront the terror and hope left in a language that sings, haunts, and escapes us.
SUMMER 2024
