"The authors’ collective voice⎯a marvel of craft, this one cohesive voice from two writers⎯blends David Attenborough’s pathos with Carl Sagan’s awe and a dash of Werner Herzog’s bleakness." A book review of The Sound Atlas by @michaelavieser.bsky.social and I over at @hippocampusmag.bsky.social

🎂📚Happy book birthday to @reneesarojini.bsky.social's most personal, most political and most fantastical instalment of her epic fantasy saga novel in verse Bramah's Discovery from @nightwoodeditions.bsky.social #CanLit #SpecFic #CliFi #NationalPoetryMonth 49thshelf.com/Books/B/Bram...

Renée Sarojini Saklikar: "Writing is a craft-based skill. Skill-based activities require practice and showing up to the practice. If you learn to love the practice, you can sustain your writing."

It's a quintessential right of passage for small press poetry books to be reviewed by @robmclennan.bsky.social and we're ever so grateful to him for bringing MA|DE's debut collaborative collection into the fold. Rob calls ZZOO "layered, and sharp” and remarks on its “smart and engaged language."

Congratulations @robmclennan.bsky.social
