Margins of Ambiguity
by Ken Westdorp
Margins of Ambiguity is a book that, at its core, is meant to entertain the majority of society that takes a dim view of poetry as it was taught in school. While Ken’s two previous books dealt with more serious subjects, such as suffering and pain, this volume uses sarcasm and comedy to lighten the mood and draw readers in. Readers are sure to share Ken’s satisfaction with this long-overdue completion of his trilogy. Unlike much poetry of a bygone era, here the subject matter is easily accessible, no matter where in these pages you choose to start reading. Rather than focusing on a single moment in time, Ken drew on moments and sources from throughout his life to compile this book. Poetry can, for those willing, allow short bursts of energy to create a detailed array of images without burying the reader in a massive number of pages. A poet who takes the mundane experiences of everyday life and lends them an air of levity, often absent in a world overwhelmed by bad news, can grant the reader a cherished reward. Browsing to unlock a gem of verse might become a memorable moment, not soon forgotten, if you allow yourself a peek inside. When reading this work, perhaps you will agree that even with the heaviest of subject matter, some morsel of levity can be achieved that will allow even those with an adverse reaction to poetry to make something of a connection to it.

After Charlie

After all, she was just a ten-year-old girl and fully invisible now … after Charlie.

Love You Like a Bus: Letters to Will
Finding Joy and Purpose in Life After Child Loss by Joni Bouchard
Love You Like a Bus: Letters to Will is a mother’s raw, tender, and ultimately life-affirming memoir of love after loss. When Joni Bouchard’s twelve-year-old son, Will, dies suddenly and tragically, her world fractures. She continues their daily conversations the only way she knows how: by writing him letters. What begins as a private act of survival becomes a profound record of grief experienced in real time, capturing the shock, physical pain, longing, and unbearable quiet that follow the loss of a child. Written not in hindsight but as the days, months, and years unfold, these letters trace Joni’s journey through the darkest moments of bereavement toward an unexpected rediscovery of light. Her perspective slowly shifts over time, and she learns that surviving doesn’t mean leaving Will behind; it means living for him. Along the way, she uncovers hard-earned truths about love, resilience, faith, and the quiet beauty found in life’s smallest moments. Both heartbreaking and hopeful, Love You Like a Bus is a companion for parents navigating the unimaginable, a window for those supporting someone through child loss, and a poignant reminder that deep grief is the mirror of deep love—and that perhaps those we love and lose are never truly gone.

Meniscus
Notes for the Painfully Alone by Ayon Shahed
Meniscus is a debut poetry collection that inhabits the ambiguous space between closeness and distance—where intimacy nearly happens, where connection flickers, where solitude settles in. Moving through urban nights and quiet mornings, these poems trace the afterimages of love: bars and bedrooms, streetlights and smoke, fleeting encounters and long silences. Again and again, the speaker reaches toward others, toward memory, toward versions of the self shaped by longing—only to discover what remains after. Dark and melancholic yet never fully resigned, Meniscus is animated by a stubborn tenderness: the belief that warmth can survive miscommunication, that naming the ache is its own form of reaching, and that small moments—observed closely—still carry beauty. Intimate, atmospheric, and emotionally exacting, this collection offers a language for modern longing and the quiet courage of feeling it fully.

What the Aurora Remembers
by Loretta Colton
Nicky Ryan has been a police officer in Canada’s Northwest Territories for six months when she’s faced with her first homicide investigation. A teenage girl has been maimed, her mother murdered, and her father is the prime suspect. Nicky’s naïve dream of heroic crime-fighting is now up against the reality of life and death in a small Indigenous community. In Fort Gabriel, the wounds of the past still bleed, and white cops from down south are neither trusted nor welcomed. Alison’s mother is dead and her father is in jail. Her aunt Lucy brings her to Yellowknife, where Alison desperately wants solid ground in a world that keeps shifting like melting river ice. Instead, she has to go back to Fort Gabriel to testify. She needs to hide, to find some way to feel safe in her own skin. When she turns to the faith and practices of Islam for that refuge, no one seems to accept or understand it. Nicky’s job is to find out what really happened that night and bring the killer to justice, but she is learning the hard way that being the lesbian rookie on the investigation will only make that job harder for her. Worse, the criminal justice system’s relentless grind can only make everything more painful for Alison, her family, and their community. Can justice be worth the painful cost?
