“One of the sailors who wheels the tea cart for the rich people asked me if I want a ride later, once the cakes are all gone (I say yes). Now that’s a Pleasure to look forward to. I can see there are many things that are Pleasures that I haven’t been seein that way, since they appear small in comparison to the Pains.”
— from Chapter One, p. 11 of NELLIE
On the Liverpool docks in 1885, eleven-year-old Nellie says goodbye to her mother forever. She’s bound for Quebec, Canada on the SS Circassian, along with seventy-two other destitute “British Home Children.” A historical fiction chapbook, NELLIE: An Imagined History is written in the sharp, hopeful voice of Nellie as she crosses the Atlantic and takes her first steps in a land both harsh and wondrous.

13 short stories set along the world’s longest trail system
Tricia Snell’s story, “So Late in the Season,” takes place during an uncommonly warm spell of autumn, when a man navigates both Rum Runners Trail (Nova Scotia) and his own identity. Other stories range from a Sasquatch sighting, to a Japanese Canadian boy relocating to a prairie landscape from an internment camp, to a dangerous night at the movies in a small town in Newfoundland…
As varied as Canada’s terrain, the stories are “uniformly enjoyable” and “accomplished” according to reviewer Brett Josef Grubisic (British Columbia Review, June 23, 2025).

Desire runs strong
through Earth’s every vein
and there’s only one story…
— from “Switch,” the opening poem of ROOTED
ROOTED is a meditation on home and the author’s rootedness in her history, family, and geography. The chapbook begins and ends with poems examining the interwoven ferocity and generosity of Earth as our communal home. In between, ROOTED’s poems scrutinize—sometimes with sorrow, sometimes with anger, sometimes with celebration—women’s complicated ties to home and ultimately, humans’ place as only one animal among many on this blue planet.
