"Remarkable, a unique work of ill/queer goretesquerie, of body-embodying body-first verse that pairs nicely with a glass of something fruitfully heady like, say, Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology of Perception."

thetemzreview.bsky.social @thetemzreview.bsky.social · 16d

Read @creativerunnings.com's review of Su Chang's The Immortal Woman (pub. @houseofanansi.bsky.social)!

It is a beautiful exploration of personal conflict at the intersection of family, politics, and culture, seen through the eyes of two remarkable women...

"The Reign extends and builds on New Brunswick, but the words “extends” and “builds” hardly do justice to a book that is so vitally charged with originality, that is relentless in its inventiveness, unapologetic in its strangeness, and deeply compelling." 😍

thetemzreview.bsky.social @thetemzreview.bsky.social · 15d

Read Aaron Schneider's review of Shane Neilson's The Reign (pub. @gooselane.bsky.social) in Iss. 32!

The Reign is ... restlessly inventive, and as soon as I finished it, I returned to the beginning and read it again for the pleasure of watching the performance

thetemzreview.bsky.social @thetemzreview.bsky.social · 16d

Read Pauline Holdstock's review of Speech Dries Here on the Tongue (Eds. @hollay.bsky.social et al.) (pub. Gordon Hill) in Issue 32!

...It is, after all, how hope for change edges closer to becoming reality in the human world: one human at a time...

thetemzreview.bsky.social @thetemzreview.bsky.social · 15d

Read Elena Sénéchal-Becker's review of Curtis John McRae's Quietly, Loving Everyone (pub. Véhicule) in Issue 32!

The eleven stories ... move like ripples across water: subtle, insistent, spreading outward from moments of grief, longing, and human connection...

www.thetemzreview.com/seacuteneacu...

The cover of Quietly, Loving Everyone, by Curtis John McRae. It is an abstract collage of a black-and-white photo of a hand on a piano, what might be an historical bomber, and bright red-on-yellow portions of a sign (one portion reads "Amour"; the other isn't readable)

www.thetemzreview.com/schneider-ne...

The cover of The Reign, by Shane Neilson. It looks like a scored and weathered section of brown leather with a large rack of antlers carved into the middle and surrounding the title

thetemzreview.bsky.social @thetemzreview.bsky.social · 15d

Read @mmeindl.bsky.social's review of Will Rees' Hypochondria (pub. @coachhousebooks.bsky.social)!

The glimpses of Rees’s life serve as a backbone for his philosophical and historical explorations, and make Hypochondria a propulsive and deeply satisfying read.

www.thetemzreview.com/meindl-rees....

The cover of Hypochondria, by Will Rees. The font is red and blocky. The cover is a slightly blurry black-and-white photo of a person tentatively walking on a highwire towards the left side of the cover; the highwire starts in a cliff on the right side

Read @buriedinprint.bsky.social's review of Catherine Cooper's Lásko (pub. Freehand Books)!

...Connection proves not only desirable but essential: connection outward, yes, but inward too...

www.thetemzreview.com/mccauley-coo...

The cover of Lásko, by Catherine Cooper. It depict an abstract outline of a woman with her face turned away and to the viewer's left; her hair and shirt indicate where she is. The colors are warm reds/browns/peaches with some cooler blues and grays

Read @buriedinprint.bsky.social's review of Éric Chacour's What I Know About You (pub. @coachhousebooks.bsky.social) in Iss. 32!

What is extraordinary? Chacour’s deft balancing and bridging: between ambiguity and clarity, between understanding and revisioning

www.thetemzreview.com/mccauley-cha...

The cover of What I Know About You, by Éric Chacour. It looks like a yellow-orange photo of a city that has been torn from left to right in 2 sections--one near the top and one at the bottom--to reveal a partial black-and-white photo of a person

Read Kathryn MacDonald's review of Thomas Leduc's Palpitations (pub. @latitude46pub.bsky.social)!

...The poems sometimes bristle, sometimes soberly reflect. Throughout, there’s something alive, gritty and tender, too, often with a sarcastic adolescent edge...

www.thetemzreview.com/macdonald-le...

The cover of Palpitations, by Thomas Leduc. Most of the cover is taken up by a very close-up photo of a marble with a rippling yellow and blue center. The background of the cover is a warm cream

Read Anson Leung's review of Tsugumi Ohba's Death Note (pub. @viz.com) in Issue 32!

...a worthy read for anybody who wants a mental back and forth battle, since there are moments when it is gripping and worth reading...

www.thetemzreview.com/leung-ohba.h...

The cover of Death Note, by Tsugumi Ohba. The background is black with dark gray text. In the middle there is a pink/purple cross, with a fan of skulls visible at the top over another, larger skull. The title runs along the cross' horizontal crossbar. Beneath it, there are typical manga illustrations of a large villain dressed in red and a normal-seeming young man in a suit, wielding some kind of staff

thetemzreview.bsky.social @thetemzreview.bsky.social · 16d

Read Salma Hussain's review of Jacquelyn Zong-Li Ross' The Longest Way to Eat a Melon (pub. @sarabandebooks.bsky.social)!

...These are stories that at their core center on the difficulty of making art in a capitalistic world, and on the illusion of control...

www.thetemzreview.com/hussain-zong...

The cover of Jacquelyn Zong-Li Ross' collection The Longest Way to Eat a Melon. It has a close-up oil painting of an orange cat staring intently at a snail that's passing in front of it.

...It is, after all, how hope for change edges closer to becoming reality in the human world: one human at a time...

www.thetemzreview.com/holdstock-gh...

The cover of Speech Dries Here on the Tongue: Poetry on Environmental Collapse and Mental Health (eds. Hollay Ghadery, Rasiqra Revulva and Amanda Shankland). The background is a painting of a prairie with a clear sky and a large, white, puffy cloud. Along the left is a stylized drawing of a woman whose skin looks almost porcelain. A cloud of black obscures the top half of her face

Read Pamela Hensley's review of Christine Estima's Letters to Kafka (pub. House of Anansi) in Issue 32!

...Estima reminds us of a woman whose legacy is greater than that of a “muse to a great man”.

www.thetemzreview.com/hensley-esti...

The cover of Letters to Kafka, by Christine Estima. It's a black-and-white photo of a young woman lying on her right side and looking directly out oat the viewer; she's in the bottom third of the cover

thetemzreview.bsky.social @thetemzreview.bsky.social · 16d

Read Kimberley Gilmour's review of @amykaler.bsky.social's Half-Light: Westbound on a Hot Planet (pub. @ualbertapress.bsky.social) in Issue 32!

...This creative non-fiction book is a journey through the otherworlds, the outskirts...

www.thetemzreview.com/gilmour-kale...

The cover of Half-Light: Westbound on a Hot Planet, by Amy Kaler. It's a depiction of a highway running between snowy fields, with some fir trees visible. Most of the cover is the sky--it starts red on the horizon and fades to deep blue as it travels up the cover

Read @amandaearl.bsky.social's review of Carol Krause's A Bouquet of Glass (pub. @guernicaeditions.bsky.social)!

...Awe and a sense of recognition still my brain and my body. I feel reverence for this poet’s ability to articulate the dark and light...

www.thetemzreview.com/earl-krause-...

The cover of A Bouquet of Glass, by Carol Krause. The background is a dark, warm greenish-brown. In the middle, lit from above, there is a bouquet of glass flowers in many different colors

Read @bonnycd.bsky.social's review of Travis Sharp's Yes, I Am a Corpse Flower (pub. @knifeforkbook.bsky.social) in Issue 32!

...Not the heady perfume of abstraction, but the carrion/clarion call to come pollinate while the getting is against all odds good.

www.thetemzreview.com/bonnycd-shar...

The cover of Travis Sharp's Yes, I Am a Corpse Flower. It is stark white, with the text in large black font, centered vertically on the cover

www.thetemzreview.com/angeacutelin...

The cover of The Immortal Woman, by Su Chang. It depicts a stylized, color silhouette of a woman's head and shoulders, looking off to the viewer's right. Red flames surround her on the left and bottom of the cover; on the right and top, a pale green depiction of a pagoda is visible

Read Sumaiya Matin's interview of @zslong.bsky.social re: her novel Where the Jasmine Blooms (pub. @fernpub.bsky.social)!

...I think that we all want to live in places where we feel safe, like we belong and have the opportunities to live a comfortable life...

www.thetemzreview.com/matin-sleima...

The cover of Where the Jasmine Blooms, by Zeina Sleiman. The background is a grey-green, with a photo of jasmine visible behind the main part of the cover--it looks like a ribbon around it. There are two hands, one emerging from the top left of the cover, and one from the bottom right. The top one is dropping a pomegranate into the bottom one's palm
