Green Fuse Burning by Tiffany Morris
Green Fuse Burning is a novella about Rita, an artist mourning her estranged father—and regretting she didn’t get the opportunity to learn more about their Mi’kmaq culture from him. When Rita’s girlfriend reveals that she signed her up for an artist’s residency in an isolated cabin, she’s furious, but because it’s close to where her father grew up, she decides to go anyway. There, she begins hearing strange sounds in the woods and seeing visions in the surrounding swamp. This is a beautiful, haunting story by a poet, and despite its scant page count, it’s one you’ll want to savor every page of.
