Today, we’re taking time off to reflect on the tragic legacy of residential schools, remember the children we lost to them, and honour the survivors.

September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a solemn time across Canada to honour residential school Survivors, remember the children who never returned home, and confront the enduring impacts of the residential school system.

Cover Reveal! Pre-order Now!

Globetrotter & Hitler’s Children is a book of two sequences, melded beautifully and seamlessly, both of which are the shape of the poet’s consciousness and body in relation to space and place. Globetrotter is an immigrant’s paean to the city of Toronto, while Hitler’s Children is a poet’s struggle with race, otherness, and Germany in the spirit of witness, passion, humor, melancholy, and understanding.

“Ede has the warmth of William Carlos Williams and the analytical power of Malcom X.” – George Elliott Clarke, winner of the Governor General’s Award for Poetry

The King’s Journey by Omoregie Osakpolor

The King’s Journey follows the story of eight-year-old Uki who experiences the coronation of a Benin monarch for the first time. The reader joins Uki and his grandfather as they accompany the crown prince of Benin through different sacred sites across the ancient kingdom as he is crowned the Oba. From Uselu to the sacred palm tree, to Usama Palace and Useh Village, we join Uki and the people of Benin as they dance and celebrate the start of a glorious reign.
