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.

Happy Thursday! For today’s backlist feature, we’re going back to 2023 and highlighting THE MASK by TERRY WATADA.

The Mask reveals a profound sense of grief, loss, and injury, as well as a love for family. Employing vivid imagery and powerful language, he expresses the isolation of the times, the vagaries of old age, and the mysteries of the mystical.

Happy publication day to A Scent of India by Sasenarine Persaud!
