Young Wendell and Mama walk downtown, each carrying a card. On the way, they pass Mr. David, who is sound asleep on a wooden bench. Wendell loves to look at all the doors they pass – wooden doors, glass doors, metal doors, doors that are at the top of stairs and doors that are at…
In Search of a New Horizon is the (translated) title of a fairly large paperback on my bookshelf: Op zoek naar een nieuwe horizon. The pastel green cover and the modernist font used for the title speak to the publication date, 1989; the two hands drawn beneath almost touch. The author, Dr. Wybe Zijlstra, was…
In the introduction to her final poetry collection, Luci Shaw writes about the slow, winter growth of an amaryllis bulb on her kitchen windowsill. A little further on, she reflects on her own long life: “I can live only one day at a time, and my hope is to live that one day fully and…
As I opened the book I’ve Got Questions by Erin Hicks Moon, I was hesitant about what I would find. Having it out with God comes with some fear and trepidation, not just because of who God is, but because of the culture we live in. However, within the first ten pages, it was as…
In the back row of my university classroom, I could not stop crying. I was in my second year, studying philosophical logic and there I was, shedding tears and more tears. A month earlier, my only sibling Margaret had died of leukemia. She was 17 and I 20. The grief felt unremitting. I did not…

Founded in 1997 in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, by Andrew Steeves and Gary Dunfield, Gaspereau Press’ legacy and backlist transferred in 2025 to Keagan Hawthorne,…
Dave Larsen’s debut novel, Green Street in Black and White, compactly narrates the backstory of the upheaval of Englewood, a middle-class Chicago neighbourhood, as integration began. The book poses as fiction, though it tells painful truths. The names have been changed – I suspect to protect kind, scared, belatedly guilt-beset white Christian sisters and brothers….
