This is a good example of why I think Beartato comics are the best comics about friendship in the whole world. I didn't even know I wanted to read comics about friendship. Here is another example! and another one! Oh my goodness.

Also, there is a Beartato book! That is all I have to say about that.

10 Questions with Sonia Saikaley

Sonia Saikaley's Turkish Delight, Montreal Winter takes the reader from Lebanon’s olive groves to Montreal’s frigid winters and underground malls. These closely connected poems present a narrative threaded with the rich traditions of the Middle East, from its dazzling varied food to its bustling Arabian marketplaces and passionate politics.

A lover longs to be reunited with his beloved. A woman mourns the loss of her father and must find her place in a male-dominated culture, while another must relinquish her unborn child. Honest, accessible, and humane, Turkish Delight, Montreal Winter is a strikingly moving and powerful sequence of poems exploring themes of alienation, intergenerational disconnection, love, and loss.
