on

In case you hadn't heard, above/ground press (and myself) are in the midst of a week at Banff, wandering through the writing studios as part of the fiftieth anniversary of the writer-in-residence program at the University of Alberta! See the interviews I conducted with twenty-seven prior writers-in-residence back in 2016, as part of the fortieth anniversary celebration, as well. and of course, there are six new above/ground press chapbook titles to accompany this new anniversary:

METAL OF THE FUTURE, ryan fitzpatrick $6 ; shore thing, J. R. Carpenter $6 ; So Now, Daphne Marlatt $6 ; Shanzai, Fred Wah $6 ; from the green notebook : , a writing vigil, rob mclennan $6 ; Sparky and Squire, Derek Beaulieu $6

See the prior cluster of new above/ground press titles here;

There will also be an online (and in person, if you are nearby) reading as part of the week! Register here.
