A profound and meaningful book about the responsibilities we take on when we become writers. Coates describes his travels to through the perspective of why he is a writer, the spirits he's carried with him, the reach his words have had, and the times he failed to meet his own high standards while at the same time highlighting injustices and reminding us how to fight against them. Deeply personal and deeply readable.

This book is a great spring-board for thinking about and planning for abolition through a series of well-chosen metaphors drawn from nature. Especially as I've learned more about abolition, I've encountered the "but how do we get there?" question from folks curious about what a world without policing can look like and the concrete steps to take to arrive there.
The answer this book presents isn't a set of concrete steps, but a nimble and robust framework for thinking about abolition as a process, one that is fractal, iterative, cooperative, autonomous, and creative. The answer to what we do about the prison industrial complex is different for everybody, and this book presents a way to think about that.
If you are already convinced we need to abolish police and prisons but aren't sure how to carve a path forward, this might be the text for you in this moment.

Full disclosure: I contributed to this book. BUT it is such a good anthology, there isn't a dud in the whole book. This is a real who's who of Canadian horror with a full range of genre and voice, there's sure to be a couple stories in here for any horror fan's taste.
