New on twitter
March 28th, 2009 § Leave a Comment
I’ve been hearing a lot about twitter lately and have decided to take a look into it. I’ve set up an account there and even have a feed on this blog for my twitter updates. It’s a good way to keep up on what’s happening with people, but also with publishing companies and journals, etc. It’s new to me, but I’m eager to see where it goes.

Winterset Award Winner Announced

(Night Work: The Sawchuk Poems, Brick Books 2008)
Last night the winner of the Winterset Award was announced. Randall Maggs took first place with his biographical book of poems entitled Night Work: The Sawchuk Poems, a collection that has been in the works for a number of years. It’s great to see a local poet winning out over prose and other genres. This is one book I’ve been tempted to pick up, but haven’t as yet, though I’d heard the author read from the manuscript a number of times before it was published. I think I will be looking for this one at the bookstore very soon.
Sunday Morning and a Poem

A while back I added a video of a reading I did at the Irving West Hotel here in Gander. The reading was part of the Gander Writers Group annual evening of poetry, fiction and song. Here is another poem from that reading that has only now made it’s way into cyberspace. It’s called “Driving the 330 from Gander”. The beginning quote comes from Lorna Crozier. Enjoy.
