The Persnickety Reader

Two poems went up on blue skies, an online literary magazine, today: “Noticed” and “Pump Jacks.” These poems will appear in a special Writing the Land anthology at the end of the month, to be launched at the Writers’ Guild of Alberta AGM in Grande Prairie.

I’ve seen a .pdf preview of the cover and it looks good. Here’s a blurb:

See the land around us with new eyes, as some of Alberta’s finest poets explore the magnificent and diverse landscape of our province, and how we interact with it. From the tar sands in the north, to the towering Rockies, to the grasslands of the south – not to mention the rich farmland, prairies, boreal forests, coulees and wandering rivers in-between – this land and its resources have shaped and continue to influence the history, culture, and economy of Alberta.
