  • Because We Love, We Cry

    Because We Love, We Cry

    Created by: Sheree Fitch
    Publisher: Nimbus Publishing

    During the global pandemic, Sheree Fitch shared what she calls “moments”—her first-burst warm-up writing exercises, on social media almost every day. Sometimes funny verse, other times lyrical prose or poetry, these daily missives were one way to negotiate the strange, unpredictable times. On April 20, immediately upon waking, as the full story of the tragedy in Portapique, Nova Scotia, was unfolding, Fitch thought of all affected, the painful day ahead, of what parents would say to their children. She thought about grieving when apart.

    These words moved through her immediately that day. Fitch shared “Because We Love, We Cry” on social media and it was embraced by Nova Scotians and those who love them across the country. It was read aloud in Canadian Parliament and during a provincial news conference about COVID-19, and by Fitch herself during a nationally broadcast vigil held for the twenty-two victims of the Portapique tragedy.

    After many requests, Nimbus and Sheree have come together to make the poem available in book form. Featuring colour line drawings and the full poem on heavy cardstock for safekeeping, as well as a pull-out postcard to send to loved ones near and far, Because We Love is a mantra, a prayer, a lament, a talisman, a paper rosary, a beating heart to keep close to your own.

    A portion of the book’s proceeds will be donated annually to the families of victims.

  • The Nowhere Places

    The Nowhere Places

    Created by: Susan LeBlanc
    Publisher: Nimbus Publishing

    An incisive, skilful debut historical novel tracing the lives of a middle-aged woman and a teenaged girl through one pivotal year (1979-80) in North End Halifax.

    It’s 1979, and June has raised her son, Gerald, into adulthood as an unwed mother. She is in middle life now, sandwiched between Gerald—who developmentally disabled and still lives in the family Hydrostone rowhouse—and her aging mother, Margie. When Gerald goes missing, it throws the family into chaos, leaving June shaken and open to the advances of a long-ago ex who’s back in Halifax and looking to reunite.

    Teenaged Lulu, too, worries about Gerald’s absence from the pharmacy where she works. Lulu is reckoning with life as a girl transitioning into womanhood in this buttoned-up, patriarchal city. Her parents’ marriage is on the rocks, as is her relationship with her best friend now that they’ve started high school. Lulu will never be cool, will always be threatened by the rough boys who live in her neighbourhood, will always live in a body that feels unwieldy and undesirable.

    The Nowhere Places puts the secret stories of girlhood and womanhood—sexual violence, accidental pregnancy, shame, ambition, and yearning—centre stage, as they occur in the wild insecurity and shifting sands of Lulu’s teenage life, and the powerful, decisive growth of June’s middle age.

    Lulu and June, though divided by decades, are both learning who they are and who they belong to—and what they might be capable of in a world still deeply unfair to women. And both find their solid foundations in their patched-together families, and the safe joy of female friends.
