📚 Available July 23: Through High Windows
A landmark critical edition of Lilian Sauter’s only published poetry collection

We’re proud to announce the release of Through High Windows, a stunning critical edition of Lilian Sauter’s only book of poetry—enriched with letters, archival photographs, and comprehensive biographical materials. Edited by the distinguished Jeffrey S. Reznick, this volume is a long-overdue tribute to an overlooked literary and political voice.

🔎 Through High Windows offers far more than poetry. It presents a rich, layered portrait of Sauter’s life and legacy, framed by:

A scholarly introduction and detailed annotations

Rare archival images and correspondence

In-depth biographical and historical context

Insight into early 20th-century feminism, British literary modernism, and the post-WWI landscape

This is both a literary rediscovery and a vital academic resource—restoring Sauter to her rightful place in literary history and honoring her contributions to literature and women’s rights.

🛒 Available now through major retailers:
Barnes & Noble, Indigo, Amazon, and more.
Distributed in Canada by Login - Canadian Book Distribution and; distributed worldwide by Ingram.

Whether you are a scholar of modernism, a student of women’s literature, or a general reader passionate about hidden literary gems, Through High Windows is an essential addition to your bookshelf.
