Daily(ish) #SmallPress #books: The Bigamist by Felicia Mihali, translated by @lleith.bsky.social (@llpmtl.bsky.social) & Commonwealth by D.A. Lockhart (@kegedoncepress.bsky.social). Alt-text = details. #DSPBposts 💙📚 #BookSky
Book cover for The Bigamist by Felicia Mihali, translated by Linda Leith (Linda Leith Publishing), with a woman in a red dress side-eying the viewer (with both eyes on one side of her face). The story of a woman torn between her husband and her lover—and about her transition to a new life in a city teeming with multiple identities. Tension mounts as she risks offending everyone in her conservative immigrant community if she chooses to leave her husband. The comings and goings between these two men reveal couples torn not only by conflicting loves and loyalties, but also by the chasm separating their present in Montreal from the past they’ve left behind. https://www.lindaleith.com/en/pages/book-detail/The_Bigamist Book cover for Commonwealth by poet D.A. Lockhart (Kegedonce Press), with a central drawing of a red flower in bloom surrounded by leaves and six-pointed stars. Commonwealth is a profound lyrical meditation on the pre- and post-colonial migrations of the Lenape population throughout the American Midwest, from the watershed of Weli Sipu (the Ohio River) in the Commonwealth of Kentucky to Indiana and beyond. This is a book that transcribes the languages of rivers, highways, rail lines, and buffalo traces. It seeks—or is pushed toward—destinations that are always over the horizon. It is about the fluidity of space and time, and the tangibility of history. As the Lenape journey ever northward and westward, they both create and are created by a collective body of stories: stories of belonging and exclusion, of freedom and confinement, of aspirations and hard truths. Commonwealth explores the ways landscape and people inform one another, and does so in a way that is as clear as a broad Ohio sky. https://kegedonce.com/books/commonwealth/
