“When authors get together to gripe, they often gripe about this: people asking, ‘Where do you get your ideas?’ It’s posed at dinner parties and public readings and even in media interviews.“

Book covers for 1. ‪Your Breath in Charcoal by Nicholas Herring, Goose Lane Editions: Knickle is a young Islander with no friends, direction, or purpose in his life. When he drives to northern New Brunswick to pick up an acquaintance’s brother from a mental health hospital, the pair make a sudden decision to travel further west to try to find a life amidst the chaos of Upper Canada. A hilarious, sensitive, and heady working-class odyssey rife with metaphorical richness and references to literature, film, and 90s music, Your Breath in Charcoal peers into the mind of its irrepressible and relentlessly quotable East Coast everyman. A follow-up to Some Hellish, Herring’s breathtaking Atwood Gibson Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize-winning debut novel, Your Breath in Charcoal marks yet another galvanizing entry into the East Coast literary canon. https://gooselane.com/products/your-breath-in-charcoal
and 2. I Built a Rocket Ship by Anna Lazowski, illustrated by Jennica Lounsbury, Kids Can Press: A young child addresses a loved one who is no longer there, while narrating the process of building a rocket ship in the backyard. Dad is nearby, as the child explains their progress and decisions about what to pack as they build. Musing that something is still missing, the child remembers past building projects, stargazing and a warm and loving relationship with the person they’ve lost. Now, this person feels as far away as the stars – which is where the rocket is aimed. Anna Lazowski’s powerful and profound story is an emotionally sensitive, child-centered exploration of death and grief. https://kidscanpress.com/product/i-built-a-rocket-ship/
