  Night Lunch

  Night Lunch is a shapeshifting sonnet sequence set in the cold waters off the North Coast of Labrador. Reflecting Chaulk’s own experience, the speaker—a young deckhand on a freight and passenger ferry servicing isolated communities—endures long irregular work hours, weather, icebergs, and loneliness, all the while navigating the taut intersections of race, labour, class, and masculinity. That Chaulk has Inuit family in and from Labrador makes this debut poetic journey a cultural coming-home for the young deckhand, as chronicled in supple, powerful verse.

  Freya's always been sensitive. Difficult, some say. Funny how those words have started to mean the same thing.
  It's September 2018, and everyone's living in a new, more inclusive Ireland after two referendums and one hot summer. We're all redefining ourselves. And so is Freya. She got dumped. But when her ex shows up at her parents' door along with unexpected news, it feels like anything is possible again. Can sensitive, difficult Freya learn to see herself anew?
  The personal becomes political in David Horan's funny and fascinating play exploring identity and family. Sandpaper on Sunburn was first performed at Smock Alley Theatre in 2024 as part of the Dublin Theatre Festival.

  The first print collection of Dorothy Bonarjee's verse
  
  In February 1914, Dorothy 'Dorf' Bonarjee was awarded the Bardic chair at the UCW Eisteddfod for verse. She was the first woman and first non-European to win Wales' most prestigious literary prize.
  
  In their 34th Welsh Women's Classic, Honno Welsh Women's Press presents the first publication of Dorothy Bonarjee's verse alongside a vivid account of the poet's extraordinary life in India, London, Wales and France.
  
  Poet Dorothy 'Dorf' Bonarjee was born in India in 1894 into an elite Bengali family. As a child, she moved to London and in 1912 she enrolled at the University College of Wales at Aberystwyth. Two years later, she was awarded the Bardic chair at the Eisteddfod, and went on to publish poems in Welsh journals. Bonarjee later took a law degree at the University of London and eloped with a French artist. France remained her home for the rest of her life.

  Join Kristin in her poetic and heartfelt musings on life, parenting, and faith, told through the lens of a chronically ill and disabled mom. 
  The poetry and lyrical prose featured in this chapbook provide an honest look at Kristin’s journey with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) and her growing commitment to writing as other parts of her life are stripped away by chronic illness. Inspired by one-word prompts, every piece tells a story in 240 characters or less. 
  Lift the Mask reminds those of us who live with chronic illness that we aren’t alone, and that creativity can sometimes be found in our greatest struggles.
