All Lit Up Press Picks for the Holidays: Caitlin Press

Caitlin Press (and its imprint for lesbian writing, Dagger Editions) publish fiction, non-fiction, and poetry out on the coast of BC. Today the press shares three excellent Press Picks: a quintet of linked stories about queer community, a strange and wonderful speculative story collection, and an experimental poetry collection (perfect for those who say they “don’t like poetry”).

All Lit Up Press Picks for the Holidays.

with/holding by Chantal Gibson

A copy of with/holding by Chantal Gibson, next to a lit candle.

“We encourage everyone to read this book, even if they don’t consider themselves to be a ‘poetry reader.’ It combines poetry with social critique and plays with form in an incredibly unique way. Have you ever seen a poem shaped like a Shopify sales page? With text shaped like add to cart buttons? You’re going to want to click buy on this one.”

Find with/holding here on All Lit Up or use the Shop Local button to purchase from your local indie bookstore.

This Unlikely Soil by Andrea Routley

A darker skin-toned hand holds up a copy of This Unlikely Soil by Andrea Routley, against a vibrant backdrop of tropical leaves.

“Andrea Routley has an uncanny ability to portray uncomfortable social interactions and problematic relationships. If you like a book that can make you feel visceral discomfort (in the best possible way) while questioning why people do the things they do, you’re going to want to read this. “

Find This Unlikely Soil here on All Lit Up or use the Shop Local button to purchase from your local indie bookstore.

Music from a Strange Planet by Barbara Black

A copy of Music from a Strange Planet by Barbara Black sits on the music ledge of a Weber piano.

“A biogenetically-altered couple. The ruins of a dystopian city. Insects. Lots of insects. What can we say? This book is delightfully strange, remarkably entertaining, and we guarantee that you’ve never read anything quite like it. “

Find Music for a Strange Planet here on All Lit Up or use the Shop Local button to purchase from your local indie bookstore.
