Hot Off the Press! Beautiful Unknown Future Has Arrived!

We’re delighted to announce that Beautiful Unknown Future by Taryn Hubbard has arrived! This new collection reflects with candour and wit on the precarity we share with the nonhuman world. Refusing false optimism, Beautiful Unknown Future layers the chaos of domestic life with the detachment of the corporate environment. Written while Hubbard’s children were young, these poems hold space for messy feelings about motherhood and care, the climate crisis, family ghosts, and office dynamics.

An excerpt from “Sweetie”:

“Sweetie, please come back to the staff room. Sweetie? We
need you to soothe us and ask us those questions that’ll make
us feel better about our actions. We need to rehearse our
rationales so they will sound authentic when the time comes
to testify. We like it when you connect the dots between our
heartbreaks for us. It’s your gentleness we demand right now.
Sweetie, come on. Someone left cookies here.”

Written in the shadow of compounding global crises, Beautiful Unknown Future looks critically to a future centred around tenderness, resilience, and love. Pick up your copy here
