“[A] deep dive into what divides us, what unites us.”
—Margaret Atwood, via X/Twitter

Spanning several decades and three countries, I LEFT YOU BEHIND by NAZNEEN SHEIKH dwells unsentimentally on shifting homes and lost ancestral homelands, distant memories and fragmented family ties. Inspired mainly by the author’s own life experiences, they depict close parental bonds, poignant encounters, tragedies and personal triumphs.

Do Not Enter My Soul in Your Shoes by Natasha Kanapé Fontaine reveals herself as a poet and Innu woman. She loves. She weeps. She shouts… to come into the world, again.

“A beautiful collection of poems that has the reader enter the Borean “countryside” and walk through it, almost spiritually, and brings us to very roots of a tradition that reunites the dead and living, and with it, the burning ancestral memories that provide a possibility of endless secrets of stones and matter.”
—Hugues Corriveau, Le Devoir

Happy publication day to The Alphabet of Aliens by Sabyasachi Nag!

Intensely personal, funny, enchanting, and fantastical, it is at once an ambitious autobiography and a dream book, a diary and a field guide. The mood is playful, the tone deliberately whimsical, giving voice to discourses on passage, arrival and the rootlessness of migrant diasporas.
