✨ Coming April 7th, 2026 ✨

📘 by Graeme Bezanson is a sequence of poems about the emotional lives of boys and the challenges of growing up within contemporary masculinity.

“The truth no one wants to name,” writes bell hooks, “is that all boys are being raised to be killers even if they learn to hide the killer within.”

These intense, insistently strange poems were developed from Bezanson's struggles with guiding his young son through a culture of toxic masculinity and violence. ULTRA BLUE navigates the joy, despair, vivid arcana, and routine violence of boyhood under Western patriarchy.

Introducing ... INHERITANCE, a novel by Jane Park 🗡️

Anne Kim is a New York lawyer whose success is built on forgetting the past. When her father dies and she returns to Edmonton for the funeral, she is shocked to discover that he was from North Korea and that he left his brother behind.

As Anne reads the undelivered letters her father wrote to his brother about life in Canada, she is transported back to her childhood during the 1980s and 90s in a rural prairie town. She recalls the struggles of her parents, the weight of her father’s expectations, and her brother's rebellion that culminated in a devastating act, irrevocably shattering the family and leaving Anne overwhelmed by inescapable guilt.

INHERITANCE explores the immigrant experience, the sacrifices made by both parents and children, and the way trauma is transferred to the next generation. As Anne completes her journey to the past, she emerges to finally define life on her own terms.

🌼 INHERITANCE by Jane Park publishes April 7th, 2026. Learn more here: https://houseofanansi.com/products/inheritance
