In Episode 62 Gen and Jette once again team up with one of our favourite publishers—Coach House Books! This time we’re talking about one of their spring releases—and our first book of poetry—Because the Sun by Sarah Burgoyne. We loved the way Burgoyne plays with words and form while exploring the work of Camus, and the film Thelma and Louise.
We also talk a bit about some other recent books from Coach House. Jette loved The Dark Library by Cyrille Martinez, which came out last fall. We’re looking forward to recent January release, The Crash Palace by Andrew Wedderburn, as well as their forthcoming collection, Indigenous Toronto: Stories That Carry This Place.
