  Descartes asked, How can I know that I am not now dreaming? The Certainty Dream poses similar questions through poetry, but without the trappings of traditional philosophy. Kate Hall’s bracingly immediate, insistently idiosyncratic debut collection lays bare thetricks and tools of her trade: a mynah bird perches in poems but 'stands for nightingale'; the poet’s antelope turns transparent; she dresses up her orange trees with bark and leaves. As the dream world and the waking world blur, the body and the dimensions it inhabits become a series of overlapping circles, all acting as containers for both knowledge and uncertainty. At times disarmingly plainspoken, at others, singing with lyric possibility, these poems make huge associative leaps. Taken together, they present the argument that to truly 'know' something, one must first recognize its traces in something else.
     
  'Kate Hall unites philosophy and wisdom – without forgetting the chipotle-lime mustard.'
     
  – Montreal Review of Books
     
  'The Certainty Dream weaves its way through absurdist outbursts and giddy indulgences of graduate-level philosophy while remaining rooted in the immediacy and, yes,the certainty of everyday life … Hall’s poems unfold with wit, colourful layers and no overwhelming sense of ego or pomp.'
     
  – The Dominion
     
  'These are profoundly perfect poems.'
     
  – Eye Weekly
     
  'A whimsical and enlightening riff on the philosophic nature of knowing … Hall's imagination liberates language and subject at every blink.'

  'I'm not broken. I'm a unique spark of life. We all are.'
  Jess has a great life: a job she loves, a sharp sense of humour and a close group of friends.
  When austerity threatens the world she has worked hard to build, Jess makes a stand to protect those she holds most dear.
  Capturing the humour, sadness and joy of everyday life, Francesca Martinez's play All of Us is a passionate and timely look at the human cost of abandoning those who struggle to fit in.
  It premiered at the National Theatre, London, in August 2022, in a production directed by Ian Rickson, with an ensemble cast featuring Francesca Martinez in the role of Jess. It was shortlisted for the 2022 George Devine Award.

  language I'll say yes from the top of my rib cage language will you come out and unearth the salt the certitude
     
  Between the verbs quivering and streaming, White Piano unfolds its variations like musical scores. A play of resonance between pronouns and persons, freely percussive between prose and poetry, and narrating a constellation of questions, White Piano offers readers a 'language that cultivates its own craters of fire and savoir-vie.'
     
  'At once achingly aware of mortality and hell-bound in its determination to press forward, change, and grow, White Piano is as brave as it is linguistically rich.'
     
  – Quill & Quire
     
  '[Brossard] writes with a poetic intensity that burns select lines and sometimes entire paragraphs into the reader's mind.'
