Meg Todd: "Most Grievous Fault was not an easy novel to write, and I put it aside for many years. But Crystal stayed with me, and perhaps her voice in my head is why I wrote it, or at least why I went back to it. I felt I owed it to her." miramichireader.ca/2025/11/why-...

Christina Shah, author of the new collection if: prey, then: huntress, answers a series of questions and poses others, such as: Why are there still places and networks in which women’s participation and access to opportunity is limited?

Catch Nick Thran, author of Existing Music, in conversation with podcast host Andrew French, recorded live at the Fraser Valley Writers' Festival. #Canadianpoetry podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/1...

"I Feel That Way Too experiments with language and form to critique the treatment of survivors of sexualized violence. By shining a light on misogynist construction and distortion of meaning, papadopoulos offers hope for a way out of the darkness." ex-puritan.ca/the-case-aga...
