Shortlisted for the 2024 Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize and the BC and Yukon Book Prizes, A Family of Dreamers (Talonbooks $18.95) by Samantha Nock redefines the concept of “home.” This debut poetry collection explores the complexities of growing up in rural northeast British Columbia, capturing the love and grief that emerge there. Nock weaves together themes of fat liberation, desirability politics, and heartbreak as she navigates her identity as a young Indigenous woman coming of age in the city. 9781772015478
