"Honest, funny, timely little stories. Raw. These poems read as if composed of the broken speech scattered around the edges of a very big Quiet. Funny, insightful, playful and painful at times. Who is Hector? I'll let you find out." - Malcolm Van Delst, Author of Do the Wrong Thing "Cocking's poems are well-honed, like a scalpel. Sharp enough to slice cleanly to the heart; to dissect her subjects and lay them open for you to see their inner details." - Christine Grimard, Contributor to Saving Seeds "Hollering back at paltry domination, the poems in Hector transgress the fictions of now with rare and essential human things: truth, brilliance, thought and heart uncompromised. Here, intensities of knowledge & experience burst traditional confines and reset us, call us out, insist a world with all of us in it." - Shauna Paull, Author of roughened in undercurrent

Slowly, ever so slowly, the vessel left the side of Pier #7 and was sea-born. Her engine gently pulled her out into the coldness of the Atlantic. There was definitely a crispness in the air. A brisk wind was brushing against Analee as she watched her kin become smaller and smaller. Soon they disappeared altogether, and she was left standing with a feeling of heaviness and dread.

Fables, Fictions, and Fantasies: A Compendium is a collection of thirteen short stories that feature several revenge schemes; three adventures in customer service; a few accidental deaths; a vegan stripper defending herself from zombie attack; and a little girl finding the cupcake of her dreams. Quill & Quire said: "What? We've never heard of her, sorry." The Georgia Strait said: "Stop sending us email, weirdo." Everybody else seemed to laugh while reading it, though. Except for the first story. And the one about pirates. And . . . ok, fine: everybody laughed at the funny ones, just not the ones that are kinda sad.

Queer Elders Tell Their Stories. In Canada, much has changed for LGBTQ-identified people over the past generation. This project has allowed older LGBTQ+ adults to share their stories - with each other, with their loved ones, and with the LGBTQ+ youth who have been integral to Sharing our Journeys. The stories in this anthology are of the pain and ridicule of being different, courage in the face of ostracism, of same-sex love when it was illegal.
