Recently Finished
Last week, I read through Tomorrows by Brittany Luckham, a book of free-verse poetry that came out earlier this year. The contents explore the author’s personal struggles with mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, as well as the difficulties that come with being a person with undiagnosed autism. Further poems explore her love for creativity and storytelling. I picked up the book from the library because I’m actually somewhat acquainted with the author; we both frequently attend the same monthly book mixer. As I’ve said many times before, poetry is fairly outside my wheelhouse, but I quite liked this collection; nothing blew me away, but it was an enjoyable reading experience and I was happy to lend a modicum of support by checking it out.
Yesterday I finally finished reading Return of the Trickster by Eden Robinson, the third novel in the Trickster trilogy. I quite enjoyed how this book ramped up the supernatural aspects of the story while integrating them more with the mundane world rather than supplanting it. Despite inhabiting a place of continual fallout from the previous book, it did a good job of still taking its time to slow things down, letting characters catch their breath and try to restore a sense of normalcy to their lives and hold things together, despite the greater sense of imminent danger. The only thing I’m left feeling a little mixed on is the ending. While I enjoyed the climax very well, I wish we had been given a few chapters to debrief on how the characters are and where left off. Instead we are treated to a two-page epilogue that quickly runs down what people get up to long afterwards. It felt somewhat in keeping with some thematic ideas, but I can’t help feeling a little unsatisfied all the same.
Reading Next
Next, I’m going to take care of reading some more comics I got from the library. First up is Medea by Blandine Le Callet and Nancy Peña. Originally published in French, this graphic novel tells of the life of Medea, the notorious and legendary sorceress from Greek mythology. I’m a sucker for interesting-looking adaptations of Greek myth, and while there’s a laundry list of novels I want to check out in that vein that would take a while to get to, it’s decidedly easier to dive right into a graphic novel, so once I saw it on the shelf at the library I decided to take it home with me.
Until next time, thank you for reading! Feel free to share your own post down below.
Muse with Me 
Tomorrows sounds like an interesting read even though poetry is not something I usually reach for. Medea also looks like a good read. I like the cover, and while I have not picked up too many Greek retellings, I would think about picking this book up myself. I hope that you enjoy reading it!
