October 10th is World Mental Health Day! It was lovely to see two Talonbooks titles on Read Local BC’s list of titles to read in honour of World Mental Health Day. Grazie by Lucia Frangione follows Grazie on a healing journey that takes her away from her daughter in Alberta to the Via Francigena in Italy and Jump Scare by Daniel Zomparelli is a poetry collection that digs deep and with humour into mental health, neurodivergence, grief, dreams, monstrosity, sexuality, pop culture, queer consumer culture, and the commodification of identity. Check out all of their recommendations here.
