Sarah Cassidy

Exploring subjects from travel to treeplanting, family to new motherhood, these short-short stories slip in and out of moments both intimate and everyday. Cassidy's language is fresh and vital, yet fluid enough to camouflage the intricate work going on behind the scenes.

Packed together into her first chapbook since Ultrasound of My Heart (Reference West), between the organic textures and metallic edges of these condensed yet subtle stories, Cassidy's new work is filled with a precarious detail and generosity that leave the reader both stunned and eager for more.

Sara Cassidy is the author of the chapbook Ultrasound of My Heart (Reference West), whose writing has appeared in CV2, Qwerty, and Grain. She is a winner of the Writers' Federation of Nova Scotia's 'Atlantic Writing Competition,' and has been a delegate to the BC Festival of the Arts 'Otherwords' colloquium.
