Book cover for Blood by Tyler Pennock‬ (Brick Books), with a bird and sun against a dark background, as though in silhouette, but with an orange sunrise or sunset showing through their shapes. Poems about a young two-spirit Indigenous person moving through shadow and trauma toward strength and awareness. Longlisted for the 2023 ReLit and First Nations Community READS awards. https://www.brickbooks.ca/shop/blood-by-tyler-pennock/ Book cover for Frying Plantain by Zalika Reid-Benta (House of Anansi), with images from Little Jamaica against yellow and red backgrounds. Kara Davis is a girl caught in the middle — of her North American identity and her desire to be a “true” Jamaican, of her mother and grandmother’s rages and life lessons, of having to avoid being thought of as too “faas” or too “quiet” or too “bold” or too “soft.” In these twelve interconnected stories, we see Kara on a visit to Jamaica, startled by the sight of a severed pig’s head in her great-aunt’s freezer; in junior high, the victim of a devastating prank by her closest friends; and as a teenager in and out of her grandmother’s house, trying to cope with ongoing battles of unyielding authority. Longlisted for the Giller Prize. https://houseofanansi.com/products/frying-plantain ‬‬‬ Book cover for We Belong: The All-Black, All-LGBTQ+ Sci-Fi and Fantasy Comics Anthology edited by Viktor T. Kerney and William O. Tyler‬ (Stacked Deck Press), with a black woman with a superhero mantle seen from below, standing in front of two more superheroes, one with horns. We Belong is an all-Black, all-LGBTQ+ sci-fi and fantasy comics anthology published by Stacked Deck Press in association with Prism Comics. Edited by comics writer Viktor T. Kerney and cartoonist and critic William O. Tyler, We Belong features over 20 talented comics creators. Editors Kerney and Tyler won the 2024 Kinnard Better Future Award for their work on this book. https://stackeddeckpress.com/product/we-belong-the-all-black-all-lgbtq-sci-fi-and-fantasy-comics-anthology/‬‬‬‬‬‬ Book cover for Curious Sounds: A Dialogue in Three Movements by Roger Mooking & francesca ekwuyasi. A dialogue between two artists across various mediums, Curious Sounds uses Mooking's most recent album, SoundBites, as scaffolding for the artists' conversations on creativity, Blackness, family, grief, and more. Composed of ekwuyasi's essays reflecting on artmaking, storytelling, and creative expression and Mooking's multimedia visual art, micro stories, music, and lyrics, this book is a collage of ideas about making meaning through life's rhythms. https://arsenalpulp.com/Books/C/Curious-Sounds ‬‬‬‬‬
