City in a Wild Garden edited by David Maddox, Malerie Lovejoy, and Curtis Walker
Cheeky monkeys, vertical farms, climate change, and tree tribunals: the second anthology of very short fiction in The Stories of Nature of Cities series offers radical re-imaginings of city life. This year’s volume is a collection of 49 stories from 20 countries that were inspired by the titular phrase, “City in a Wild Garden.” Six prize-winning stories, written by authors from the United States, India, and Brazil, were chosen from over 1000 stories from 101 countries. These six — and 43 more — remarkable stories represent broad artistic imaginings of cities from a multitude of perspectives, written and published during a time of global uncertainty. For this year’s introduction, poet and scholar Kirby Manià offers thoughts on the interaction between gardens, cities, and the human-nature interface to contextualize the vivid relationships illuminated in the storytelling of this collection.
Dictionary of the Queer International edited by Yevgeniy Fiks
Dictionary of the Queer International proposes a vision of international, intersectional, and non-hierarchical queer culture via imaginary queer defense fusion-languages. The dictionary is a collection of words and phrases from local queer languages around the world. It considers the concept of a queer language of “internationalist universality” as opposed to “neoliberal globalization” — a vision of an international queer language of multi-locality and horizontality.
curved against the hull of a peterhead by Taqralik Partridge
With the warm ring of the spoken word at their centre, Taqralik Partridge’s poems wrestle with colonisation and racial violence while also reflecting rich sensory imagery—from the stain of blueberries, to the relationships of sisters and aunts, to a knowledge of the land. Originally from Kuujjuaq, Nunavik, Quebec, and now living in Kautokeino, Norway, Taqralik Partridge is an Inuk textile artist, curator, writer, and spoken word poet. This is her debut poetry collection.
