  Poet, writer, and Instagram sensation Nikita Gill returns with a  collection of fairytales poetically retold for a new generation of  women. 
  Traditional fairytales are rife with cliches and gender stereotypes: beautiful, silent princesses; ugly, jealous, and bitter villainesses; girls who need rescuing; and men who take all the glory. 
  But in this rousing new prose and poetry collection, Nikita Gill gives Once Upon a Time a much-needed modern makeover. Through her gorgeous reimagining of fairytale classics and spellbinding original tales, she dismantles the old-fashioned tropes that have been ingrained in our minds. In this book, gone are the docile women and male saviors. Instead, lines blur between heroes and villains. You will meet fearless princesses, a new kind of wolf lurking in the concrete jungle, and an independent Gretel who can bring down monsters on her own. 
  Fierce Fairytales is an empowering collection of poems and stories for a new generation.

  The Porcupinity of the Stars

  Poet and musician Gary Barwin both continues and extends the alchemical collision of language, imaginative flight and quiet beauty that have made him unique among contemporary poets. As the Utne Reader has noted, what makes this work so compelling is 'Barwin’s balance of melancholy with wide-eyed wonder.' The Porcupinity of the Stars sees the always bemused and wistful poet reaching into new and deeper territory, addressing the joys and vagaries of perception in poems touching on family, loss, wonder and the shifting, often perplexing nature of consciousness. His Heisenbergian sensibility honed to a fine edge, the poems in this bright, bold and acutely visual book add a surreptitious intensity and wry maturity to Barwin’s trademark gifts for subtle humour, solemn delight, compassion and invention.
   
  'Between the freaky, funny filmmaker Guy Maddin and author Gary Barwin, Canada is producing some of the most innovative creative works of our time.' – Utne Reader

  One of the most miserable and lonely places in the world is in a prison cell. The reason not being because you are locked away in a space the size of closet, away from society but because you have so much time to think. In the outside world you have resources to help make decisions and can move around to see for yourself when making choices. Being locked away physically also has the upmost mental effect on even a stable mind. 
  One of the hardest decisions is figuring out exactly what path you will take once released from prison. This is vital because essentially the release the release date is the first day of the rest of your new life. The main character must make this decision but has to use his heart to guide him. 
  Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.
