    Winner of the 2023 Aryamati Pamphlet Competition. In her second chapbook, And I Will Make of You a Vowel Sound, Morag Anderson places centre stage an unlikely cast of neglected, exploited, and unsung characters. These poems uncover many of the contradictions of life lived in the female body and bear witness to largely forgotten yet highly-personal stories, woman by woman, girl by girl. Confident and assured of voice, she navigates womanhood and its attendant desires and abuses, permitting the reader to embrace the power and vulnerability encased in the female form. Anderson's delicate choice of words \'unlace restraint' and take us to the limits of the female body's potential.

    The life and career of a Poet is often thought of as musing at a desk, or lying in a meadow, or on long journeys to find inspiration for their next masterwork.  But more often than not a poet was a part-time profession in subservient submission to their actual, salary-paying job.   
    In this volume we bring together men of the cloth, those people of faith who spent most of their lives in devotional duties in the service of one so they could, in their spare time, serve another.

    Step into a powerful journey through abuse, addiction, and redemption, told through the art of Haiku. 
    As a profound collection of Japanese Haiku poetry, this illuminating book transports you on a journey through the troubled life of one tormented soul. From a childhood marred by abuse and neglect to a life poisoned by addiction, Jake was plunged down a dark path from an early age by the cruelties of fate. 
    But in his darkest moment, while sitting in a prison cell, a ray of light appeared to him. Jake was faced with a life-defining choice: to continue down his self-destructive path, or to turn toward the hope of redemption and find the courage to face his demons. 
    As an inspiring and redeeming testament to the hidden potentialities within us all, A Lost Soul Found in the Darkness describes one man's journey to overcome his predicament, defy his upbringing, and forge a new life for himself beyond the pain and addiction that hounds him. 
    Author and recovering addict Brett C. Persson invites you on this journey, weaving Jake's story with real-life lessons and struggles drawn from his personal life. 
    Imbued with timeless religious motifs, this book is a must-read for anybody who loves thought-provoking Haiku collections that communicate deep truths about tragedy, hope, and salvation.

    "Stories From The Faerie Queene" is a retelling or abridged version of Edmund Spenser's epic poem "The Faerie Queene," which is a richly imaginative allegorical work dedicated to celebrating the Tudor dynasty and Elizabeth I. The poem, originally published in the late 16th century, weaves tales of knights, dragons, maidens, and quests to represent virtues and human struggles. The stories within are adaptations of Spenser's intricate stanzas into prose or shorter narratives that make the text more accessible while maintaining its magical and moral complexity.

    Write for buyers. Write for bosses. Think hyper. Think branding. Tell your visitor where to go. Poetry and ‘plain language’ collide in the writing machine that is Human Resources. Here at the intersection of creation and repackaging, we experience the visceral and psychic cost of selling things with depleted words. Pilfered rhetorics fed into themachine are spit out as bungled associations among money, shit, culture, work and communication. With the help of online engines that numericize language, Human Resources explores writing as a process of encryption.
       
    Deeply inflected by the polyvocality and encoded rhetorics of the screen, Human Resources is perched at the limits of language, irreverently making and breaking meaning. Navigating the crumbling boundaries among page, screen,reader, engine, writer and database, Human Resources investigates wasting words and words as waste – and the creative potential of salvage.
       
    ‘In this bad-mouthing and incandescent burlesque, Rachel Zolf transforms a necessary social anger into the pure fuel that takes us to “the beautiful excess of the unshackled referent.�* We learn something new about guts, and about how dictions slip across one another, entwining, shimmering, wisecracking. For Zolf,political invention takes precedent, works the search engine.’ – Lisa Robertson
