A sneak peek at one of our spring titles: My island's the house I sleep in at night by Laurie Brinklow. Drawn from interviews with artists, writers, and musicians from Newfoundland and Tasmania, these poems capture what it means to be an islander. To know every rock and tickle, the sea your road/the hole in the sky/your light to travel by. Cover artwork by Adam Young. #ReadAtlantic
