Looking Forward to 2025

As 2024 draws to a close, we are excited to be working with some of your favourite Kegedonce Press authors, who will be launching books with us in the new year. If you’re looking for challenging poetry, stirring YA fantasy, and grounding Traditional stories, we have you covered.

First, Kegedonce Press poetry perennial D.A. Lockhart returns with his latest full-length collection, Commonwealth. Commonwealth follows the migrations of Indigenous, particularly Lenape, populations in the pre- and post-colonial American Midwest, and uses the patterns and landscapes there to offer a lyric meditation on the Indigenous essence of these spaces and the importance of movement to the human experience. It is a reflective work that will surely inspire much discussion.

Next, for those who have been following the thrilling adventures of the wolf Silversong as he ranges through the Northlands pursuing the Heretic in Coltrane Seesequasis’s Secrets of Stone, we are happy to announce that we are working on The Threads of Time, which is volume two in Coltrane’s projected four-volume series, A Wolf in the Sun. This YA fantasy series is already making waves and we are proud to help Coltrane bring it to fruition.

We are also busily at work on The Power of the Little People, which is the third title in the celebrated Ojibwe History Series by renowned storyteller Bomgiizhik (Isaac Murdoch). This collection gathers stories of encounters with Maymaygwesiwok, the Little People in Anishinaabe culture, and the lessons these beings can impart. As with all the titles in this series, The Power of the Little People will be fully bilingual, in English and Anishinaabemowin, making it an invaluable resource – not to mention one that is as enjoyable as it is instructive.

Our readers will have all this – and more! – to look forward to this upcoming year. Stay tuned!
