Praise for Widow Fantasies:

 “The sassy-voiced stories in Widow Fantasies seem to melt in your mouth like fruit gelees—yet the taste of their observation lasts. I savoured them all.” — Molly Peacock, author of The Widow’s Crayon Box. Buy Widow Fantasies. Shop local at IndieBookstores.ca.

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.
