Now live on Shadow and Sax: “skeleton dance at the end of the world” by Wynn Libby.

Now available: Regressive Tendencies, a new poetry pamphlet by George Nevgodovskyy.

Some will raze their entire world just to find Eden again.

Regressive Tendencies is both a retreat into the past and a personal degeneration. Exploring longing and regret, the suppression of reality and the straitjacket of memory, inevitable decay and futile attempts at resuscitation, these are poems by someone who’s seen In the Mood for Love too many times.

Surreal and imagistic, George Nevgodovskyy employs pattern and form to explore the bittersweetness of love and all that we are doomed to remember.

Available now through Shadow and Sax Press.

Originally published in the inaugural issue of our Experimental Zine this summer, you can now read the full poem in our Experimental section.

Now live: Richard Sandler.

We’re so honoured to feature the work of legendary New York photographer Richard Sandler on Shadow and Sax.

Moving through streets, sidewalks and the underground, Sandler’s photographs record the strange, fleeting arrangements of city life: bodies, faces and shadows; strangers between destinations; moments caught in the brief window of Now.

“You are recording your time,” Sandler has said.

Read the full feature and view a selection of Sandler’s photographs now on Shadow and Sax.

We’re also thrilled to announce that Sandler will be one of the featured photographers in Issue Two of the Shadow and Sax Literary and Arts Magazine, arriving this winter.

Now available: Your Life: An Event That Has Already Happened by Billie J. Daniel

Your Life: An Event That Has Already Happened explores the rippled effects of childhood trauma. 

In the search for healing, there is destructive behaviour, transformation, and rebirth. 

It is done so with a tender and hypnotic voice.

Three vignettes from Ficus by Kate Brooks.

Yesterday, we published Ficus in print. Today, we’re sharing three vignettes from the collection in the Shadow and Sax Hybrid section.

Ficus follows a daughter caring for her father following a chemotherapy treatment: watching football, cooking meals, reading, remembering, waiting. 

At the centre of it all is a thirty-year-old ficus tree, passed from grandfather to father, quietly living alongside them.

“How connected it all is. How like holding hands.”

Read Ficus: Three Vignettes (4, 5 & 8) now in our Hybrid section.

And find Ficus, the complete collection, handmade and available now through Shadow and Sax Press.

Congratulations again, @katebrookskatebrooks …

We’re so happy to have given this beautiful book a home.

Now available: Ficus by Kate Brooks

Ficus is a collection of autofiction vignettes that follows the process of care between a daughter and her dying father.

Taking place over the course of a visit that the daughter makes from Toronto to Halifax in order to care for her father following a chemotherapy treatment, it is a vivid meditation on the rhythm of their days—watching football, reading, sharing meals—all tinged with mourning.

Centered around the image of a thirty-year-old ficus tree in her father’s office, it is an exploration of the banality of grief, the mundane nature of care, and the beauty in impermanence.

Now live on Shadow and Sax: “On poems” by Victoria Spires.

From her poetry pamphlet, Rube Goldberg Machine, “On poems” reflects on the strange, self-contained nature of language—how poems become places where thought folds back on itself.
