Whitney French
August 13th, 2025
In Syncopation (Wolsak and Wynn $24.00), Whitney French imagines a fractured future where memory is currency, migration is survival and love is as dangerous as it is vital. After a decades-long earthquake and acid rain have ravaged the Earth, two young women—descended from space pirates and forged by hardship—set out on a journey that tests their values, their connection and their sense of hope in a world built from the ruins of the past. French is a multidisciplinary artist, educator and co-founder of Hush Harbour—the only Black queer feminist press in Canada. With over 500 workshops taught across schools, prisons and First Nations communities, she continues to use language, activism and imagination to challenge boundaries and build community. 9781998408283
