For Your Safety Please Hold On is the debut poetry collection from Kayla Czaga, published by Nightwood Editions. The poems travel from family life through girlhood into adulthood, delivered in a lively, quick-witted voice and inventive language.

Czaga pairs playful phrasing with sharper, uneasy moments—small domestic scenes and memories that expose pressure, longing and the search for meaning. The collection moves deftly between humor and melancholy while maintaining a strong rhythmic intelligence.

Several poems received prize attention and have appeared in North American literary journals. Compact and energetic at 95 pages, this paperback suits readers of contemporary, lyric-driven poetry.
