"LONG EXPOSURE” is a book-length poem that fluidly reflects on tragedy, depictions of thoughts & feelings, & uncomfortable spaces between self and other.

Stephanie Bolster reads from her newest work w/ @palimpsestpress.bsky.social at:
alllitup.ca/poetry-in-motion-stephanie-bolster-long-exposure
The cover of LONG EXPOSURE features the author's name in capitalized sans serif white text along the top, and the title in the same font, bolded, right aligned in the bottom right corner. The cover image is of a corner of a decrepit, abandoned home. In this graphic, cover of the book has been superimposed on top of a long exposure photo that matches the colour tones of the cover image.

Check out today’s #ALUWomenAskingWomen conversation with Shawna Lemay (APPLES ON A WINDOWSILL, @palimpsestpress.bsky.social) and Margaret Macpherson (TILTING TOWARDS JOY, Signature Editions), as they reflect on books, inspiration, and how writing connects the meaningful with the ordinary.
A graphic for All Lit Up’s Women Asking Women series. On the top left is Shawna Lemay, a light-skin-toned woman with blonde hair, holding a book and looking into the camera. On the bottom right is Margaret Macpherson, a light-skin-toned woman with short grey hair who is smiling into the camera. Text on the graphic reads: “Women Asking Women (Writers Asking Writers). Shawna Lemay and Margaret Macpherson. Women’s History Month on ALU."
