We are so proud of the work that Chiedza Pasipanodya put into the Sweet Spot. It’s a fantastic first title. But don’t take our word for it. After reading The Sweet Spot, Poet Laureate of Toronto, Dr. Lillian Allen had this to say:

“Mercurial and dreamy, a subtle angularity moves through these poems with surprises and insights. Chiedza brings a tenderness to ‘broken’ and threads the parts back together like a kintsugi bowl.”

Pre-order your copy of The Sweet Spot today. Available May 1st 2025 at your local indie bookstores and online!
