Reverse of postcard featuring the authors in the anthology.

It’s still a few months away from release but I’m at @canconsffh.bsky.social in Ottawa promoting the anthology about small town Canadian superheroes called Super Canucks that Mat Del Papa and I edited together. Coming March 2026 from @latitude46pub.bsky.social I have postcards to share. #cancon2025

HAD for Squares One of my favorite things on the site is the way a solid, square block of text looks under the banner of skulls. So... let's do a call for all and only those pieces! Meaning, generally, one paragraph with 20 lines of text. Depending on the words themselves, I've figured out that that usually means ~280-290 words. If you want to be real specific (and, tbh, I'd love it if you do), you can figure that out for your piece exactly with HAD WYSISYG formatter: https://www.havehashad.com/pages/wysiwyg No real theme or anything. Mostly just give me text that looks like perfect squares of text. You can send up to 3 different pieces (submit them together please). Submissions will be capped at 150 — so, you (probably) know the deal: get 'em in fast. If you're reading this, you probably have a pretty good idea of what I/HAD like, but some stuff that jumps to my mind: Submissions will open at 10 a.m. ET, Tuesday, June 10. Thanks! 💀💀💀 Aaron

next submission call in ~48 hours!
Tuesday, June 10, 10 am ET!

looking for SQUARE blocks of text.

what that means, vaguely: ~280-290 words, no linebreaks, no paragraph breaks.

I’m so pleased to share this lovely cover reveal for my new book of poems, The Pollination Field, w/ Turnstone Press. You can pre-order at the link below. This year, as I’m dealing with a very painful hip and body, a Sudbury launch won’t happen until summer.
