Last but not least, we're so excited to share the cover for As the Morning Rising by Mary Frances Coady!

~
In this companion novel to The Practice of Perfection and The Holy Rule, this historical novel follows Sister Alphonsine after she has been sent away from St. Monica's School for Girls because the Mother Superior feared that she was introducing a way of thinking to the young nuns that would pull them into modernity. As the 1950s becomes the 1960s, Alphonsine continues to inspire change and revolution in all those she meets.

Next in our spring lineup is Late Bloomer, a memoir by Mary Lou Dickinson.

~
Born in the shadow of World War II, Mary Lou Dickinson came of age in an era that expected
women to conform—but she never did. This powerful memoir traces her path as a feminist writer of the Silent Generation, working with the women’s movement and working to support the survivors of s*xual assault. Though she had long published stories in literary magazines, it wasn’t until the age of 70 that her first book was published, proving that it’s never too late to claim one’s voice.

Next up for our Spring 2026 cover reveals is Tegan Zimmerman's debut poetry collection, Chimeras!

~
In her debut poetry collection, Tegan Zimmerman recuperates and (re)conceives the mythical figure of the chimera to explore maternity, monstrosity, labour, and reproduction. Chimeras brilliantly explores the fragility of identity categories, the slipperiness between the contradictory roles assigned to the maternal: goddess-lover-wife-mother-crone-monster.

The most recent addition to Inanna's fall collection is Concrete Women: Gender, Urbanism, and Protest in South Asia by Tara Atluri, offering firsthand accounts of feminist, transgender, and q***r movements in urban India and Pakistan ✊📣

~
People who live in South Asian cities re-shape politics and actualize constitutional rights, in parks, on playgrounds, and in city streets. The author has interviewed those who are part of a generation of unabashedly courageous, intersectional feminists who are living and working in South Asia and share their first-hand stories. These activists stage protests and artistic interventions in a time-period of legal reforms regarding q***r rights, public debates regarding s*x, the rise of urbanization, and growing forms of Internet literacy
and accessibility. Concrete Women is a rumination on the distances between life and death, between unremitting violence and the possibility of justice.

As a child, Kate Stong Smythe drew castles. Now, at thirty-five, she’s found herself hard-edged and uncompromising, designing slick condos in Griffintown, a gentrified working-class neighbourhood of Montreal.

When Kate’s mother dies, she calls out five mysterious names from her deathbed, propelling Kate on a journey to unravel the mysterious dreams she’s had since childhood. She’s met with a shock when she finds the five names in her own family genealogy books, tied to faces she knows from her strange flashbacks. Who are these women, and why have they haunted her dreams since she was a little girl?

Kate’s unsettling visions take her from her home in Montreal to an abandoned farmhouse in the northern suburbs of Toronto, increasingly consumed by her ties to the past and the ancestral hardness that is holding her hostage.
