Bonememory by Anna Veprinska is a collection of poetry that documents the memories, and the memories of others, that live in our bones, tracing personal, intergenerational, and collective trauma—and the astonishment of survival.

I used to live here by Amy LeBlanc is an examination of chronic illness, disability, and autoimmunity that finds moments of magic and ritual within the experience of illness while thinking deeply about autoimmunity and poetry.
