Praise for Fuse: A Memoir of Mixed-Race Identity and Mental Illness:

“I cannot find enough superlatives to describe the savage clarity, the gorgeous language, and the remarkable depth of insight contained in this courageous book. It took my breath away.”—Diane Schoemperlen, Governor General Award winner and author of This is Not My Life: A Memoir of Love, Prison, and Other Complications. Buy Fuse.

Praise for Rebellion Box:

“There’s a willingness to go anywhere and meet anything head-on throughout Hollay Ghadery’s Rebellion Box. Her extraverted poems seek out the very roughest edges of her subjects: parenthood, race, and history, and stay there steadfastly. Beginning in minutiae and building out, the world of the book feels massive; spectacular with sadness and towering with joy."—Jacob McArthur Mooney, Don’t Be Interesting. Buy Rebellion Box.
