| Title: An Indoor Kind of Girl |
| By (author): Frankie Barnet |
| ISBN10-13: 0993946496 : 9780993946493 |
| That night or a week later, get blackout drunk and think about how unhappy with your life you are. How tired you are of so many of the things youâ ve chosen to define yourself by. Why on earth did you cut your bangs like that? Girls like you are becoming lawyers, girls like you have at least been to Europe. All you have is your stupid fucking haircut. Someone at a party describes you as an â indoor kind of girl. â What does that even mean? You donâ t know, but you spend the following week obsessing about it. You watch three seasons of â Keeping Up with the Kardashiansâ in two days. You get a pet turtle. You absent-mindedly paint what ends up looking like your high schoolâ s football coach, but naked. You go backpacking in Australia for a few months. You try speaking with a New York accent in public, just to see if people like that version of you better. The comment still haunts you. An â indoor kind of girl. â You feel like youâ re that person, but youâ re not that person. |

| Title: How Do I Look? |
| By (author): Sennah Yee |
| ISBN10-13: 1988355087 : 9781988355085 |
| Through a series of short vignettes, Sennah Yeeâ s debut full-length book How Do I Look? paints a colourful portrait of a woman both raised and repelled by the media. With pithy, razor-sharp prose, Sennah dissects and reassembles pop culture through personal anecdotes, crafting a love-hate letter to the media and the microaggressions that have shaped how she sees herself and the world. How Do I Look? is a raw and vulnerable reflection on identities real and imagined. Praise â In Yeeâ s poetry, whole worlds, multiple worlds, can live in just a few sentences, and countless people and histories can exist within one personâ s body. It almost makes reading full novels feel silly when you can live a whole life in just one of Yeeâ s paragraphs. â â Mitski, pop star â Sennah Yeeâ s How Do I Look? is a selfie through a webcam in the compact mirror tossed over the shoulder of a nightswimmer into a suburban chlorine pool. These poems are the hit radio lyrics that roll around in the mind before falling asleep, the silently crafted love poems for an unrequited crush written on a blog saved in drafts, the emails sent to oneâ s future self opened at a karaoke bar years later in another country. How Do I Look? made me look back and get home safe. I look in the rear view mirror to find flowers growing out of me. â â Stacey Tran, author of Soap for the Dogs â Sennah Yee has written a book full of wit and fire. This is a work to read and reread. The individual pieces build on each other to reveal the fractured self beneath and the ways the Western world fractures people who â look like Mulan. â A fierce new literary voice. Donâ t miss this one. â â Matthew Salesses, author of The Hundred-Year Flood â At first glance, it might not seem as if How Do I Look? is about survival. But in each of these brief vignettes, Sennah Yee is tested over & over again by white supremacy, racism, fetishization, heteronormativity & all the other worst parts of Western culture that constantly deluge the screens & scenes of our upbringing. And yet, Sennah Yee survives every microaggression. Sennah Yee has teflon in her blood & How Do I Look? is sparkling sunset over Liberty City & absolute proof that she is bulletproof. â â Orchid Cugini, author of Iâ m Just Happy To Be Here |

| Title: Kim: A Novel Idea |
| By (author): Frankie Barnet |
| ISBN10-13: 1988355273 : 9781988355276 |
| Kim: A Novel Idea is a graphic literary novel about a lonely millennial named Frankie, her boyfriend Jacob, their talking cat Catman, and an unhealthy obsession with Kim Kardashian. Faced with the difficulties of her life, scrolling through photos of an uber-celebrity and talking to her cat is the only way Frankie knows how to copeâ through fantasy and escape. Exploring politicsâ personal, political, socialâ to comment on feminism, the #MeToo movement, fame, abuse of power within university writing programs, intergenerational wealth, love, and our multiple selves, there is something lovable about Frankieâ s insufferable attitude towards life; something deeply relatable about her self-doubt in convincing herself sheâ s â never going to make anything of my goddamn, pathetic life. â Why? Because Frankie is stuck in a capitalist cycle of celebrity marketing rings that target young womenâ s insecurities about their bodies and accomplishments. Kim: A Novel Idea gives us insight into the downfalls of contemporary living while asking: are digital identities the cure, or the poison to waking life? And, what is the value in distracting ourselves from our own very real lives? |

| Title: knot body |
| By (author): Eli Bechelany-Lynch |
| ISBN10-13: 1988355214 : 9781988355214 |
| Bringing together poetry, essay, and letters to â lovers, friends and in-betweens,â Eli Tareq El Bechelany-Lynch confronts the ways capitalism, fatphobia, ableism, transness, and racializations affect people with chronic pain, illness, and disability. knot body explores what it means to discover the limits of your body, and contends with what those limitations bring up in the world we live in. knot body was shortlisted for the QWF First Book Prize. Their second collection of poetry, The Good Arabs (Metonymy Press), won the 2022 Grand Prix du Livre de Montréal. Praise â For me, the power of knot body stems from its courage and unique voice in writing the ache, the ache of chronic pain, the ache of faulty diagnoses and bodily misreadings, and, equally, the ache for honest answers on how to love each other in all our dignity. Eli Tareq El Bechelany-Lynch is an artist and philosopher of talent, generosity, and heart. â â David Chariandy, author of Brother (Penguin Random House) â In this moment, when trans, racialized and disabled bodies are met with violent and polarizing commentary within the public sphere, Eli Tareq El Bechelany-Lynch offers us the uninterrupted intimacy of knot body. As self-communional as Kiese Laymonâ s Heavy and Terese Marie Mailhotâ s Heart Berries, they amplify and queer the epistolary memoir genre. Each letter is emotionally and thematically complete and, too, each letter decidedly speaks to the next. Readers may ruminate on the sharp and sensual inquiry offered by each individual letter, or read cover-to-cover and be present to the gorgeously-engaged, call-and-response quality of knot body as a whole. â â Amber Dawn, author of My Art is Killing Me (Arsenal Pulp Press) â knot body is such a generous tapestry of tendernessâ a collection that brilliantly utilizes the direct address in a way that is not universal, but still beautifully communal. I reached the end of this collection and breathed in a newer, better world. â â Hanif Abdurraqib, author of A Fortune for Your Disaster (Tin House) |

| Title: Little Fury |
| By (author): Casey Bell |
| ISBN10-13: 1988355354 : 9781988355351 |
| Winner of The Metatron Prize for Rising Authors (Fiction), Casey Bellâ s slipstream feminist fiction pulses with otherworldly lyricism. Best friends in a dystopian near-future seek transcendence while serving time for their abortions; a mother reeling from postpartum depression drinks champagne with the ghost of Simone de Beauvoir; a trans woman rapt by visions after a brutal attack anoints a cow as it sinks to the ocean floor. The characters of Little Fury yearn for hope in the rubble of a broken world. Suspended between the real and surreal, Bellâ s debut lingers in the slippery in-between of dreaming and waking, voicelessness and uproar, longing and belonging. |

| Title: New Infinity |
| By (author): Bára HladÃk |
| ISBN10-13: 1988355249 : 9781988355245 |
| New Infinity is an experimental novella that follows a woman as she lives and dreams her way through the philosophical implications of autoimmune disease. Met by a labyrinth of closing doors, she searches for meaning and connection among fragmented realities and failed relationships, finding infinitude in the healing process of bibliomancy. Bára HladÃkâ s New Infinity is a glittering cross-genre debut. Weaving surrealist stories with meditative poetics, HladÃk invites you into a dream world of degenerative illness, left disordered by the failures of ableism, medical professionals, and late-stage capitalism. Here, everything runs on sick time. Where physical health and financial resources grow scarce, the restorative possibilities of queer love, divination, and self-reclamation grant a defiant, yet often tenuous, abundance. Alive with HladÃkâ s boundless insight and wit, New Infinity is a powerful addition to the collective body of disability literature. |

| Title: Opening Ceremony |
| By (author): Laura Marie Marciano |
| ISBN10-13: 1988355605 : 9781988355603 |
| Opening Ceremony is the second collection of poetry from author Laura Marie Marciano. The book follows the speaker of her first book, Mall Brat, from the 2008 recession to the current hellscape of downward mobility for many aging millennials. Finding absurdity in the Fourth of July, backyard pools, surveillance mirrors, and Sol De Janeiro, the poems navigate the pain and promise of letting go of expectations as one seeks motherhood. Wet landscapes, missed fertile windows, Botox routines, quiet quitting rituals, political centrists, and text message banter are navigated by the authorâ s perfect balance of tenderness, pastiche, camp, and wit. Ultimately, the poems in this book reveal the glimmer that still exists in leaning from a collective state of drowning, into the birth of a child, breaking open our hearts to a soft landing and a queer future. |

| Title: Para-Social Butterfly |
| By (author): Sari Dale |
| ISBN10-13: 1988355265 : 9781988355269 |
| Disillusioned with her life as a waitress, an aspiring influencer implants a micro-projector into her brain to live in a world of her own creation called the Ultra-Glam. The Ultra-Glam is a virtual reality of fame, glamour, hyper-pop, mass-media images, movie trailers, celebrity selfies, and perfume advertisements. The further she goes into this world, the more the borders of reality become blurred. Is her reality the one in which her physical body exists? Or is it the one which she creates, beyond the realms of the physical? And is this world created on her own terms? Para-Social Butterfly is a fun, beautiful, dark, and twisted look into the question of existence in the digital age. |

| Title: The Choice Is Real |
| By (author): Jayson Keery |
| ISBN10-13: 1988355346 : 9781988355344 |
| Jayson Keeryâ s world-building poems reimagine the coming-of-age narrative for queer and trans people. Winner of The Metatron Prize for Rising Authors (Poetry), The Choice is Real is a romp through millennial media landscapes and an interrogation of their power as systems of early childhood gender programming. Challenging the conventions of how queer and trans people are encouraged to tell their stories, The Choice is Real engages the concept of choice in queerness and trivializes the linear â born-this-wayâ narratives that queer people are sold. In response to a second puberty brought on by medical transition and an unravelling of family structures following the death of their stepmother, Keery regresses through a warped and foreboding childhood landscape saturated with pop culture iconography. Writing with and against Disney classics, Keery moves between formative memories and contemporary moments, weaving in accounts of current relations in their playful uprooting of assumptions of queer relationality. Opening with a cheeky epigraph from trans author and activist Lou Sullivan: â I love being a girl. So delicate,â The Choice is Real explodes with celebration and criticism of girlhood from a transmasculine perspective. |
