In My World

  Happy publication to Thomas Leduc’s second poetry collection, Palpitations (Latitude 46 Publishing, May 3, 2025).  Palpitations explores the journey through the twists and turns of the human experience. From childhood memories of struggling with dyslexia and what to be when one grows up, reflections on love, to the global disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Thomas Leduc delves into the shared experiences that have altered the world’s perception of itself. Full of vivid imagery and deep, thoughtful reflections, Palpitations is a tribute to that which makes us human – moments that palpitate with life, longing and change. Palpitations is available wherever books are bought or borrowed.  @river_street_writes  @lat46publishing @tom.leduc.poetry #canlit #poetry #bookishcanadians  #bookstagramcanada #amreading #canadianauthors #publicationday  #poetsofig #bookstagram #publicationday #mustread #palpitations #beautifulbooks #poetrycollection #poetrylovers ...

  Happy publication to Tim Welsh’s Ley Lines, published by Guernica Editions!  Set in the waning days of the Klondike Gold Rush, Ley Lines begins in the mythical boom town of Sawdust City, Yukon Territory. Luckless prospector Steve Ladle has accepted an unusual job offer: accompany a local con artist to the unconquered top of a nearby mountain. There, the duo finds a seven-foot human ear, floating in a halo of light. This mysterious discovery briefly upends Sawdust City's fading fortunes, attracting a crowd of gawkers and acolytes, while inadvertently setting in motion a series of events that brings about the town's ruin. Ley Lines is available wherever books are bought or borrowed.  @river_street_writes @tim__welsh @guernicaeditions #canlit #goldrush #klondike #yukonterritory #northerncanada #bookish #bookishcanadians #bookstagramcanada #bookstagram #bookreader #sammcgee #trippy #literaryfiction #whattoread #strangethings #strangeandunusual #strangeandbeautiful #booklove...

  Happy publication to  Lindsay Zier-Vogel’s The Fun Times Brigade (Book*hug Press)!  About The Fun Times Brigade:   Named one of the   Toronto Star’s 25 Books-To-Read-In-2025   and one of  CBC Top Fiction Books to Read this Spring,   The Fun Times Brigade is an insightful and heart-rending exploration of motherhood, grief, and the search for identity. Following Amy, a seemingly successful children’s musician, Zier-Vogel examines the enduring challenges of reconciling being an artist with being a mother, and how we ultimately fail and find the need to forgive those we love. It is also a timely reflection on what it really means to have a good life in a world that demands we have—and be—it all, and asserts that amidst the chaos, we can find our way back to our genuine selves. The Fun Times Brigade is available wherever books are bought or borrowed.  @river_street_writes  @bookhugpress   @lindsay.ziervogel #canlit #motherhoo...
